One of the neat things about the Whitney Museum are the balconies and stairways outside each level of galleries. You can leave the gallery and go out on a balcony and get wonderful views of the city. And each balcony has at least one work of art on display as well. I first saw this scene from inside the building, and what grabbed me, believe it or not, was the water tank in the distance. Water tanks are such a fixture in Manhattan on the tops of tall buildings. They have been around forever. So I love the contrast between this work of art by Alexander Calder, on the left, and the wonderful craft work of the wooden water tank on the building in the distance.
