I love fire escapes. I take so many pictures of fire escapes that I created a whole album on Flickr devoted to them. If I recall correctly, I got a glimpse of this beauty while I was waiting for a bus on 42nd Street. There was a parking lot, maybe, or an empty lot, and on the other side I saw the back of this building, with a series of bright red doors stacked vertically. Fire escape as Art Installation.
