Hand Written

but not before capturing this otherworldly scene

each tree a single bead in the aerial tableau

As I positioned the helicopter to take the down shot

it becomes the perfect abacus

Or were these canyons and gorges leading down to a salty sea incapable of sustaining life

I was so enchanted by the twinkling lights and dynamic energy that I almost forgot to snap the shutter

Was it really a tree

Amidst the chaos

the vibrant colors of the rows and rows of meticulously groomed cherry trees resembled a giant abacus

one of the most iconic amusement parks in the world

they had never before seen the tree

Two thousand feet above the vibrant chaos of Times Square
