The Clearwater
And the sun setting on the Hudson
The story:
Clearwater was founded by Pete Seeger, legendary musician, singer, songwriter, folklorist, activist, environmentalist, and peace advocate, and one of the most influential people of the twentieth century. In 1966, in despair over the pollution of his beloved Hudson River, Seeger announced plans to “build a boat to save the river.” At the time, the Hudson was rank with raw sewage, toxic chemicals and oil pollution; fish had disappeared over many miles of its length. Seeger, along with many other concerned individuals, believed a majestic replica of the sloops that sailed the Hudson in the 18th and 19th centuries would bring people to the river where they could experience its beauty and be moved to preserve it. Inspired by that vision, the organization began with the launch of the sloop Clearwater in 1969 —a majestic 106-foot long replica vessel. [source]

Paramount
in pink raincoat
Once upon a time, in the ’20s, this was a grand theatre and the New York HQ of Paramount Pictures.
Still here today, gracing Times Square with that old City charm.

Spring in Central Park
A tribute to pink blossoms, tulips and grumpy pansies.
Or, to quote an Instagram friend, grumpsies.

Evil Corp Halo
This is not the City of Angels.
Fabulous retro-futuristic architecture in Manhattan and Roosevelt Island.

The City Loves Colour
as long as it includes generous splashes of pink
The day was sunny but chilly – as in a jacket-and-beanie chilly.
But the young and brave ones didn’t seem to mind.
