There had to be a ”Pause” for the City to quiet down. Not so much unnecessary noise these days in New York!

Positive Thoughts
Manhattan Skyline from the Gantry Plaza State Park and Hunter’s Point South Park, Long Island City.
The canoes are part of Xaviera Simmons, Convene, 2018, installation (aluminum canoes, paint and rope) painted with designs that abstractly and explicitly evoke national flags symbolic of the diverse historical and contemporary demographic makeup of Astoria and Long Island City.

A Heart of Stone
The Sisyphus Stones. They rise and tumble and rise again, just south of George Washington Bridge.
Work of one man – a modern-day Sisyphus.

A City of Brick and Mortar
From Fort Tryon Park, a walk through the Hudson River Greenway offers a glimpse into utopia – or so it seems, if you can call yourself a resident in the Castle Village and read your newspaper in that garden with the George Washington Bridge only a breath away.
Designed by architect, George Fred Pelham Jr. in 1938-39, only about fifteen years after his father, George Fred Pelham Sr., designed another distinctive complex just across the street, the Hudson View Gardens. From a time when Manhattan was still a city of brick and mortar and had not yet succumbed to glass and steel.

Watching the World Go By
A sudden downpour found me completely unprepared and looking for shelter. A welcome, cooling break to wash away the grime and that distinctive New Yorky stink that clinks to your nostrils all summer long.
Soon, it was over.

A little bit of Flanders
Spotted in DeWitt Clinton Park. We’d been coming here time and again, for two years in a row and somehow managed to miss this. A bit of Belgium nostalgia. (Those who e-met me through my previous blog, will know that our homebase is Brussels).
Otherwise, it was yet another beautiful walk, no surprises, the usual suspects: the Hudson River Greenway Pooper Troopers, Joggers, Totems, NYC Sanitation Neon Lights and those spectacular sunsets that land over the Hudson bathing New Jersey in gold.
