Fire Escapes
I can't explain why I've always been a little into fire escapes. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I never saw them growing up that often, or the thought of having to climb out of a burning building along with a bunch of other people, and then having to jump 15 feet seemed like such a crazy idea. So whenever I can I take a second and appreciate these contraptions for what they are. While I was strolling through the greatest city on the planet (for reasons specific to myself) I got my fix for a while, because they had them all. Tall ones, short ones, boring ones, beautiful ones, sketchy ones, and pointless ones. I don't discriminate on what they look like nor their designers intentions, I just enjoy seeing them around hanging on the side of these buildings. Maybe I feel like they don't get the recognition they deserve because it's one of those things can be fun to look at, but you hope you never have to use.
