Once upon a time, you could touch the air in New York. Such as the case as seen here on Nov. 24, 1966, when a stagnant mass parked itself over the city for four days. This glimpse south from the Empire State Building showed a city shrouded in acrid, sour-smelling air. This photograph also moonlighted as the cover for Vampire Weekend's music album "Modern Vampires of the City" in 2013.
