There isn’t much peace in the city, but here’s 10 seconds of snow falling through the subway grate at 72nd Street, set to the song Child’s Garden by Dax Johnson. Breathe in, breathe out.

Okay, I love this vent.
You have not done it justice.
For 10 seconds, the camera needs to be steady for Zen!

I like the effect. I agree there needs to be more focus on the snow itself. I would have liked to see a closer shot of the snow falling through the vent.

But, with the hectic pace of life in NYC we sometimes forget how nice it is to see a touch of Mother Nature’s handiwork.
