New York City

"The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger"

From the book: “I live in New York, and I was thinking about the lagoon in Central Park, down near Central Park South. I was wondering if it would be frozen over when I got home, and if it was, where did the ducks go? I was wondering where the ducks went when the lagoon got all icy and frozen over. I wondered if some guy came in a truck and took them away to a zoo or something. Or if they just flew away.”

My description: As of now, lagoons are frozen and trees without leaves were covered with ice. Even the cold is in its way, the beauty of New York is still there. At night, I walk and pass by the frozen lagoon, looking at the sky. The combination of the color of the sky (pink+blue=purple) and the lights in the buildings are perfect. I am imagining of how engaging and amazing this will be if it is painted. I can say that at this place, the view is relaxing and aesthetic.
