"New York City" Urban lessons

When I was on Ferry and took a tour around Manhattan area captured the pictures below which means to us many things; Diversity, Contrast, Attractiveness, Identity and such and such, either negative or positive words.

Sometimes city councils should pay for something but definitely worth it.
