This one is my submission for  #80 IN AND OUT OF FOCUS Challenge at @aligator_watercolor_community. 

  The Flatiron Building: Since its introduction as one of New York City’s first skyscrapers in 1902, the Flatiron has been a quintessential New York City icon that garners immediate recognition, beloved by both local New Yorkers and visitors alike. Floating above the intersection of two of New York City’s most famous streets, Fifth Avenue and Broadway, the Flatiron anchors its eponymous district. Its defining triangular shape emphasizes the building’s unique positioning while oversized windows frame unobstructed views in all directions that span the tree tops of Madison Square Park to the skylines of Downtown. Now, the Flatiron is poised to undergo a renovation that will preserve its historic exterior and simultaneously reconfigure its interior to meet 21st Century demands.

  Nearly ten years ago I've had a gorgeous stay during springtime in NYC and since this time I'm lost in love with this gorgeous city. We visited the MoMA and I was thrilled about the number of full blooming trees at 53rd street West NYC. I took many photographs but even without them, I would never forget the marvelous atmosphere.

***
The Bouquinistes of Paris, France, are booksellers of used and antiquarian books who ply their trade along large sections of the banks of the Seine: on the right bank from the Pont Marie to the Quai du Louvre, and on the left bank from the Quai de la Tournelle to Quai Voltaire. The Seine is thus described as 'the only river in the world that runs between two bookshelves'.[1]
