Paul Seibert spent much of 2018 hovering thousands of feet over New York City, taking photographs for the helicopter tour company FlyNYON. Over the course of the year, Seibert shot the city from almost every imaginable angle, but the images that always performed best were those taken from a single spot: high over Harlem, looking south over Central Park, the skyscrapers of Midtown, and Downtown Manhattan, with the East and Hudson Rivers converging at the top of the frame.
Seibert shot the city from that spot month after month, season after season, which gave him the idea to create this image: a composite photograph that shows the transition between the two seasons in a single, seamless landscape.

Scarborough in Yorkshire. Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
In the Middle Ages, Scarborough Fair, permitted in a royal charter of 1253, held a six-week trading festival attracting merchants from all over Europe. It ran from Assumption Day, 15 August, until Michaelmas Day, 29 September. The fair continued to be held for 500 years, from the 13th to the 18th century, and is commemorated in the song Scarborough Fair:
- Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
- —parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme....[17]
- Frank H. Mason (1875 - 1965) 1939 travel poster illustration produced for the London North Eastern Railway (LNER) to promote travel to the seaside resort of Scarborough in Yorkshire.
