Too – too
There is a fine line between extravagance and gaudiness.
There can be too much of a good thing. Although Liberace would disagree.

A cool breathing spot
Because of the pollution, congestion and August mugginess it is easy to forget that we actually live on an island, yet a cool breathing spot is always a breeze away. Whether you head east or west, a walk alongside the river at dusk is your escape route from the stifling heat.
Just follow any street on East-West axis.

Chirp
Hard as it may be to believe, you can still hear the birds sing in New York in a few, far between places besides Central Park. Some, totally unexpected.

Behind the facade
Harmonious lines, soft palette in ochre and blue, a visual delight; it could have been a cubist painting. Solid yet airy, playful urban architecture. Hanging cables letting a fleeting glimpse behind the facade. In a little while it will be masked, its beauty lost to ignorant passersby forever.

Reverse the polarity
Archimedes was my ideal. I admired the works of artists, but to my mind, they were only shadows and semblances. The inventor, I thought, gives to the world creations which are palpable, which live and work.

Xmas tree(?)
With skeletons safely tucked away back into the closet, ’tis time for some serious glitter. Joy to the world! November marks the start of the Christmas Season and New York is slowly, methodically getting pretty for the grand finale. And I am going to enjoy all of it!

Good Heavens
The weight of heaven on his shoulders for eternity: such was the punishment of Titan Atlas by Zeus for leading the Titans (elder gods) against the Olympians (young generation of deities) in what was essentially a power struggle between generations.
Carry Uranus (the sky) on his shoulders to prevent him from reuniting with Gaia (the earth) which would lead back to chaos, Atlas was essentially ”condemned” to be the keeper of the Balance of our Cosmos.
