Manhattan Twilight

This photograph, taken on my recent trip to New York represents liminality in terms of both space and time. Sunset, the threshold between night and day, determines the colors of every element. The bars that stretch across the bottom of the image are part of a bridge (the Brooklyn Bridge, in fact), which is a space of transition from one place to another.

The eye of the viewer, as did the eye of the photographer, occupies a transitional space even as it focuses on one of the ends of this space. Is it a look back or a look ahead?

I could tell you the historical truth, but that would ruin the effect and only be half the story (at most) anyway.
