Canyon of Zeroes Battery Park City, lower Manhattan. There are places in Manhattan that don’t seem at all like they’re in Manhattan.

Very nice shot and observation. Though I don’t understand the title, “Canyon of Zeros”... what does this mean?

Well it was intended to be ambiguous, but basically it’s a pun on “canyon of heroes,” the section of lower Broadway in Manhattan (not far from where this picture was taken) where ticker-tape parades have traditionally been held. “Zeroes” refers to the money that it takes to construct an environment within Manhattan that feels apart from Manhattan.

So much for ambiguity.

I lived and worked down here until last year. Really enjoyed it there, thanks for the post and the photo!
