As I got off of work leaving my doctor's office on 90th street, I was walking towards 86th street train station, with my feet hitting the pavement on my way to school. So what do I hear? Just the average noise of cars honking at other cars to Go, the sounds of dogs barking, people and kids talking amongst each other, and construction sounds. This is New York City on a regular day. It's quite beautiful sometimes when you can "hear" rather than "see" how New York is. I never realized that there can be beauty in everything including sound. Usually on a busy street I'm pretty sure there would've been even more noise, but here I was on Park Avenue listening to somewhat of a quieter area of New York City. Who would've know that you can sometimes reflect and be at peace just listening to the natural street sounds of the Big Apple.
