Walk with a view that made my heart sing. Available all year round. The Christmas lights are incidental.

That’s a 29-metre Norway Spruce under all those lights
With its very own lighting ceremony, dedicated wikipedia page, popular ice-skating ring, devoted fans and proud history, the Christmas tree at the Rockefeller Center is as awesome as it gets.
29 m (94 ft) high
50.000 lights

In the interval, let us simply enjoy life.
Here it is, going by.

Pink Xmas
The ”Land of 1000 Delights” is made of candy and lollipops and the brightest colours and the Nutcracker and a light show and music and it will bring you joy and fill your heart with warmth and Christmas – but only if you walk by on a weeknight, preferably a very cold one. That sugar puff dream will turn bitter on a Saturday evening when thousands more will follow the very same destructive idea and join you to form a massive human wall. So, stay out of trouble, be constructive and avoid the masses: go on a weeknight instead. Light show goes on every 10 minutes, 5.00pm to 11.00pm until January 2nd.

Larry Rivers
Larry Rivers depicts his mother-in-law who was his primary model at the time, while she was living with Rivers and her daughter in Southampton, New York. Admiration of the artist’s style, brushwork and palette equals my surprise to learn about his relationship with the model. I’m thinking how strange to use your mother-in-law of all people, as a sitter for your nudes.
