A friend from work with a really good eye snapped this strikingly composed photo the day before yesterday, during the snowstorm. This is the view from inside one of New York's landmarks, looking out: from a Rockefeller Center office building, you can see the statue of Atlas holding up the world framed in the windows, and beyond that (in an interesting religious juxtaposition), the front of St. Patrick's Cathedral--all of it ghosted by the swirling snow.

Oh wow this is so good. I've been into architecture lately and read that when making a building you have to compose the windows views like you would compose a painting. This is an amazing application of this. Thank you for sharing!

-- Atlas holding up the world--

Good thing he's not shrugging. Because that'd be totally Rand-om.

(I'll be here all week)

I totally snorted outloud at this!

And honestly... that photo is so many levels of amazing! Would have loved to have seen it in person~

That's really beautiful shot!
