Twilight

It was almost dark but the camera, which plays tricks, detected some blue in the sky still.

The lovely, elegant, iconic Empire State Building will probably shortly

be obscured by some very tall, not very interesting building.

Looking south from the roof. The Port Authority Building looks

a bit like a great big cruise ship anchored in Chelsea.

Great excitement later in the evening. It looks as if the firetruck

is ablaze, but in fact, the flashes are just tricks of the camera.

Firetruck

On 24th Street I came upon a lovely scene.
The firetruck was parked and a little boy, his mother, and his sister, had all stopped to look.
The fighter was very cheerful and friendly.
But the little boy was shy.
His mother showed the firefighter the little boy's t-shirt - a firetruck
The little boy's shoes - flashing lights - like a firetruck.
On the side of this fire truck
- and all the other firetrucks in New York -are painted the names of the members of this engine company who were killed on September 11th.
Even after six years, seeing the names makes me cry.
