I took this picture a while ago. This picture was taken in my
neighborhood, up the block, more like up that hill you see when you
come out from the 103rd street train station. I was born and raised in
East Harlem, Spanish Harlem or El Barrio. You can see a glimpse of my
neighborhood from this hill. The hill for me represents, being on top,
like a colossus feeling. Every day I walked up and down this
street/hill. Every day I hear people complaining about walking up this
hill. I just walk pass them, smile and when I get to the top, I just
view the horizon of uptown Manhattan. I enjoyed this view of being on
top. You can also see the tri-borough bridge that connects Manhattan
to Queens and the Bronx if you looked towards 3rd Avenue and up if you
looked towards 5th Avenue you can see the trees of Central Park
popping up. This picture represents what I see every day and it
represents my block, my neighborhood, and my home.
