Twisted Logic
It was a beautiful autumn day under clear blue skies. The light was so pure that I didn't have to make any edits to the image file. I didn't alter the color, contrast, or white balance. I just added a bit of sharpening and cropped the image to a square, eliminating a couple of people who were walking on the right side of the frame.

Pretzel Stand - New York City (2020)

An acquaintance remarked that the photo reminded him of the cover photo on Steely Dan's Pretzel Logic album.
I looked up the Pretzel Logic album on, where else, wikipedia. It turns out that the album photo was taken just a few blocks north of where I captured this shot on Fifth Avenue. Central Park served as the scenic backdrop for both photos.
Decades later, the legacy of New York pretzels lives on!
