An interesting new art installation has taken over an empty lot at Eighth Avenue and 46th Street, just a block away from where I live.

“Desert Rooftops” by artist David Brooks “employs an absurd abundance of asphalt-shingled rooftops to create a vision of an overdeveloped monoculture – one that is picturesque, familiar and simultaneously foreboding.”

Might not be such a bad place to live… No windows to wash.
