Another World...

There's a whole other world in this city that most of never ever see…   

High above street level on top of many buildings there are entire houses constructed up on the roof.  This is one of them.  In my first apartment I use to stare at one in particular across the way from my apartment overlooking Central Park. It was brick, multi-level, and surrounded by gardens - absolutely fantastic.  I always wondered who lived there.  Years later when attending an open house with a friend I saw it in person.  Turned out, it was not at all what I had imagined and in fact not a house at all.  It was a beautiful roof space and a brick façade covering the water tower.  I was soooo disappointed.    

This is not one of those – it’s the real deal.  There's a similar space to this one in plain view from our roof deck and again I wonder who lives there – for real…
