Sleeping on the Hudson

Turned leaves follow the straight path of time, the golden light taking its cue from the waning green. The Hudson pulls itself close, bracing for the coming cold.

Taken: 11/02/2010 in Morningside Heights, Manhattan, NY. This photo is a panorama composed of 8 individual shots. I love seeing straight lines curve into a smile (see bottom corners). And the brain can stitch and mold everything into regular shapes, regardless of how they appear to the eye.
