We are back to St. Patrick’s Cathedral, directly across the street from the Atlas statue and Rockefeller Center. I think this is the more obvious photo compared to the St. Patrick’s I posted a few days ago. However, it’s potentially more powerful.

I’m guessing that the architecture, honed and perfected over hundreds of years, is meant to impress. We have leading lines pointing to the heavens, and the slender towers at the top give the impression of an even taller structure.

So can you guess how this photo, the picture of the escalators yesterday, and the Atlas statue with the skyscraper as a backdrop relate to each other? They are all architectural, of course, and found on 5th Avenue. But the largest commonality is the leading lines. They all work to draw the viewer further into the frame.

In terms of sequencing blog posts, I also think it was more playful to insert the escalator photo between the two exterior architecture photos. The relationship is not completely obvious, but not completely subtle either.
