The High Life

Much neglected blog!

Anyway, back in New York and hanging out in a part of town I’m not usually in.

A brand new building on 42nd Street called MiMA the venue of a Saatchi art show that Robert was in. Fabulous views over the Hudson to New Jersey - with the Intrepid on the right.

Looking down was rather unnerving. Spot the little church with dwarfed spires nestling in the shadows.

Looking north made the little buildings look like Lego building blocks.

The views at night were extra dramatic - the Intrepid again on the upper right...

and everything twinkly and magical.

One of Robert’s paintings of another, more classic, high rise building!

The last photo taken out of an open window looking directly downwards onto 42nd Street.

I’m still feeling dizzy!

Tuesday

After a night of thunderstorms, there was another torrential

downpour at about eight in the morning. I thought Judy would

 forgive me if I stayed home. I went out anyway and discovered

a new water feature/fountain in Penn Plaza.

It was really rather charming.

7th Avenue looking exactly as it always does.

Such lovely colors and chalk a nice respite from spray paint.

It really could be a picture.

Last week I was handed a coupon book for MacDonalds.

So we went there for lunch. Needless to say, none of the

coupons applied to anything we wanted. We ate there

anyway and gave the coupon book to some Russians.

In the afternoon the dog found a large puddle to lie down in.
