Summer haze + Turner



People complain about the summer heat in New York, but I love it. To me it's better then wearing a down jacket in July in SF! I took this shot of the skyline from the resevior in Central Park. I was inspired by the hazy and pre-impressionistic paintings I saw at the Turner show at the met. I noticed that Turner generally puts his horizon line parallel to the picture plane about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom of the canvas. All the pictures in the exhibition were hung so the horizons lines up....
