This is the view from the end of my street in Queens, NY. I took this photo in April, 2009, on my way to work at CitiField. April was beautiful, albeit bitterly cold at some points, but the sun shone extra strong as if it knew that 90% of the summer would be rainstorms. I walked an extra 20 minutes (in the opposite direction) to the 7 train in order to walk along this park, stop at my favorite coffee spot, and enjoy the wonderful waterfront and artsy village that stands in contrast to the grimy, slimy housing project grid that I live within. This photo is the background of my laptop because even though its spitting rain in London, the feel of the sun on my face that day still warms my heart every time I look at it.
