This first shot is of The Cube also known as the Alamo and also as the Astor Ploace Cube which was designed by sculpture Bernard (Tony) Rosenthal, s you can see it is pretty much an All Black Cube standing on its edge.

It was installed in 1967 as one of a series of 25 temporary Art Installations in the city, that were intended ot only be on display for 6 months.

However the Local residents petitioned theCity to keep the Alamo and it is still there today.

I could not find anywhere the significance of the name Alamo

And I decided to take this shot of the building that hosts on NYSC ( New York Sports Club) premises which from this angle I felt kind of fitted well witht is post and it has a cube look to it and I thought was an interestign looking building
