DescriptionUnstretched. Image of a street corner in New York. The viewer is positioned in the middle of an intersection to see both sides of the buildings and sidewalks. The largest building (center) is the main aspect of the street corner; it uses red and purple, with a blue overlay in the upper floors, and the first floor entrances are in yellow and turquoise. There are several trees parked in the front of the building, and its bordered by two closely packed apartment structures in different shades of blue and yellow. Its a vintage take on a typical New York street corner.
