India/beyond Jet Lag

Bumpers on a moped taxi.

From the taxi.......

Wonderful looking fruit..........don't know what it is.

Red sandstone tomb.

Meatpacking District

Heading down 9th Avenue on an absurdly warm evening.

December 28th and people are wearing sweaters.

The Gansevoort Hotel has a very Wallpaper moderne lobby. Hugely high ceilings and a great deal of pink.

Even the elevator is cool and I'm suitable impressed.

They put Claudia's name on her bathrobe. A perk you do not get at home.

From the Sky bar you look south down on a building whose facade is lit in different colors.

They change every few minutes.

Blacks and Pinks

Pretty fierce looking doors down on 10th Avenue near the book shop by Clement Moore Park.



More of the same.



We went to the Red Dot Fair at the Park South Hotel on Thursday.
This is where I found this chandelier.
Some of Robert's paintings were on show there.
The whole hotel - three floors of it - was a warren of mini-art galleries for the week.
Gallery owners who had come from foreign parts ( ie Berlin or San Francisco) were using the rooms as galleries during the day - but sleeping there at night.
A novel idea.
