Penn Station, NYC, 18th Dec. 7.30am

Lots of people.
People coming out of the station as waves in a sea, relentless...wrapped up in long coats, jackets, scarves, gloves and what not, stepping on each other...impatient to catch the next red traffic light to cross the roads; the Salvation Army Santas ringing bell for donations; Scarlett Johanssen on Macy's bright, colorful, digital billboard doing her jig for holiday perfume; the sanitation department people cleaning of the streets; free newspapers and pamphlets being distributed by punters; two cops sipping hot coffee in the comfort of their white-blue sedan.
And then you see a couple of odd seagulls elegantly finding their way in the myriad of skyscrapers and hoardings towards the Hudson.

Good Morning New York! I'm ready for work.
