Foreground is identical in all three — the green tiled Chinese arch with red pillars, gold characters "信廣德通", two stone lion dogs at the base. Under the arch, a small stall "Edomae Sushi 江戸前寿司" in the middle of the street, people walking towards and away woman in white with straw bag, man in black with backpack, pink backpack kid. Red lanterns, shop signs "MIXUE", "Pharmacy", brick buildings on both sides. On the far left, that sharp triangular building is Salesforce Tower. In the background behind the gate, towering over everything, is your edited SIFC Twin Towers twin dark glass towers with pointed spires, connected by a big X-brace skybridge with a faceted glass dome at the base between them, light fog/mist around the bottom.

Differences:

Photo 1 - Day: Pale blue sky with soft white clouds, flat daylight. Twins look bright silver-blue, very clean, light haze. Normal daytime street lighting.

Photo 2 - Golden Hour / Afternoon: Dramatic clouds with sun rays breaking through top left, warm golden light on buildings and people, long shadows on pavement. Twins more reflective, slightly darker, sun catching the glass edges. More cinematic, warm tones.

Photo 3 - Night / Neon: Deep blue-purple sunset sky with glowing orange-pink clouds, sun rays still breaking through. Twins are lit up inside with warm window lights. Street is now full of bright neon signs in pink "火锅", blue "茶楼", green "DIM SUM 点心", pink "居酒屋 IZAKAYA", blue ramen bowl. Arch is lit with warm bulbs, reflections on wet pavement, street feels alive at night.

It is what it is so you took the same low spot at Dixon and just kept moving the light from noon to night and the twins stayed there. That's the basking.

From Geographic Guide:
This was the original Hotel Savoy when it opened in 1892 on Fifth Avenue, corner of 59th Street. Enlargement to the right was under way by 1893. It was twelve stories high, and the façades were in Italian Renaissance architecture. The structure was considered to be absolutely fire-proof, being of the steel-framed construction, with every beam and column of steel. The walls were of Indiana limestone. The partitions and the arches between the floorbeams were of hard burnt terra-cotta.
Terra cotta, meaning "baked earth," is a term that has been used loosely since ancient Roman times to refer to glazed or unglazed ceramic ware intended primarily for architectural elements. Since about mid-19th century, terra cotta were being produced in New York City. In the last quarter of the century manufacturers in NY made it more available and less expensive, and as concerns increased about fireproofing buildings.
Demolition of the the original Hotel Savoy began in late 1925 to make way for the Savoy-Plaza Hotel (Photograph from the New York Public Library)

Took this picture from a parking garage. Admittedly, the skyline is very small for a city of 1M residents, but I find it endearing.

From Daytonian in Manhattan Blog:
“The Metropolitan Realty Building was completed in 1893.  The plans had been tweaked and the finished structure was 15 stories tall.  As promised, its quadripartite Renaissance Revival design boasted extensive fenestration--the hundreds of windows grouped, for the most part, in threes and fours.  Other than limestone lintels and bandcourses that defined each section, Wheeler's design focused on utility rather than architectural beauty.

The Metropolitan Realty Building sat within the printing and publishing district, and Smith had designed the building to support heavy printing presses and similar machinery.  Among the initial tenants were W. B. Keller Printing & Publishing, Gardiner Binding and Mailing Company, H. A. Rost Printing & Publishing Company, and the Blumenberg Press.

In 1955, the Metropolitan Realty Building was demolished to make way for the Park Row approach and the widening of the roadways that accessed the Brooklyn Bridge.”
