A Little Bit of Home

I've been feeling really homesick lately so I thought I'd write a post on one of the aspects of my home that I remember most. From my window I could see this view but from the opposite end. The chrysler building was in front and the empire state building was in back and a little to the left of it. I'd turn off the lights in my room and every night I'd say goodnight to these two buildings. I always loved how bright the chrysler building was. During the day it beamed the sun off of its glossy sides but at night it completely illuminated the sky, the neighboring buildings with their office lights seeming like stars surrounding it. The Empire State building was, I remember thinking, always doing its own thing. Depending on the season the Empire State building usually had bright colors. It almost looked as if the sides of it were draped with shiny, bright silk. The buildings didn't really "match" color wise but for some reason they complimented each other. The way that they light up the sky is incredible. During the day they are still very beautiful but at night they are truly spectacular.
