The image captures a moment of daily New York life: a group of preschool children, all wearing fluorescent yellow vests, cross Lexington Avenue accompanied by their teachers. In the background, the typical red brick buildings of the Upper East Side with their characteristic iron fire escapes. Manhattan traffic frames the scene, with yellow cabs and tourist buses. This street photograph documents the contrast between childhood innocence and the urban chaos of the metropolis, showing how the city continues to live around its youngest inhabitants.
