Great contrast of hot and cold. And very atmospheric, not the sort of scene I'd encounter here, therefore all the more pleasing to read.

Thanks, Devika, John, and Vaughn. Magyar, I posted a draft of this in a workshop setting; don't know if you could have seen it there. It's also always possible that someone else has worked with a similar image. Thanks for the information about your site. Thanks, jem: it's a familiar New York street scene. And thanks to gillena and Gautami.
