The former Citicorp Tower in Long Island City, the first modern skyscraper in Queens, now owned by Altice USA. It stood by itself for years after opening in 1990, and now is surrounded by tall shiny glass neighbors.

Statue of James Clerk Maxwell, George St., Edinbur Statue of James Clerk Maxwell, George St., Edinburgh Scotland.
Post 5/5, the statues of George Street.

At the top of George Street sits a statue of James Clerk Maxwell, erected in 2008, the first addition to the George Street statues in a century. It honors not another king or clergy member, but one of the world's greatest physicists, who defined electromagnetism. He is seated with his dog at his feet, and the sides of the statue feature reliefs depicting Newton's experiments and Einstein holding a model of warped space-time.

Post 1/5, the statues of George Street.

Got up at 6am one morning to paint George Street, a commercial area of Edinburgh, as commuters went to work, watched over by statues of Scottish luminaries, a prime minister and a king.
