Elevated, late-afternoon scene on a cloudy day looking out over rush-hour traffic in a large city; hundreds of cars are heading west toward a large, multi-level bridge which, as it touches the land, crosses with a long, elevated subway track that has just come up from the water; these tracks split in several directions at a couple of points, but the one leading straight from our vantage point serves the N and W lines; they also serve the R and 7 lines which take you to different destinations; the days are short now, so the lights are on in the subway cars as their elevated trestle passes over the autumn trees and red taillights of the automobiles below; tall buildings rise up all around the crossing, helping to form part of the new and growing skyline of this part of the city; in the distance however, on the other side of the massive bridge, is a much larger and taller group of skyscraper buildings which make up a small part of the most iconic city skyline in the world.
