Since so many people commented on the last New York City snapshot

Just now I was browsing for New York City pics and I stumbled onto this sweet photo: beauty old yet ever new! I am going to post more New York City images like this one.

snapshot of New York City taken by Jussi You-S-See The marble figures and fountains on either side of the main portico entrance of the New York City Public Library Main Branch, by Frederick MacMonnies, were installed in 1921. Plaster casts stood in place of the statues for nearly five years. Beauty, a woman seated on the winged horse Pegasus, representative of inspiration and elevation above worldly concerns. Above the figure is an inscription from the twenty-first stanza from American poet, John Greenleaf Whittier's The Shadow and the Light: BEAUTY / OLD YET EVER NEW / ETERNAL VOICE / AND INWARD WORD.

Can anyone add a few kind opinions?

    I adore "New York City Boy." I always feel like the kid in the video.
