Bryant Park

Bryant Park

I had inteded to go to the MoMA, on the free day, but the cue was too big for me, the place was to busy. I went to the NYPL the library instead. Wow, the center of the universe. A temple. Next to it is Bryant Park where I went when I got kicked out of the library at 6.00. Thunderstorm under one of these umbrellas. All went well & sketched and used the park’s wifi.

Still posting from San Francisco… Biked back from the Legion of Honour via the beach & the park. Fantastic views of trees silhouetted against the water… the quck sketch is all I have so far.

The circles in the pavement caught my attention, about the best thing I saw there, as the museum was shut and the building was shrouded in renovation material. I’ll go back though.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK

NEW YORK, NEW YORK

Leonard Bernstein:

NEW YORK, NEW YORK

New York, New York — it’s a hell of a town.

We’ve got one day here, and not another minute,
To see the famous sights,
We’ll find the romance and danger waiting in it,
Beneath the Broadway lights.
But we’ve hair on our chests,
So what we like the best are the nights.
Sights, Lights, Nights.

New York, New York —
A hell of a town,
The Bronx is up and the Battery’s down.
The People ride in a hole in the ground.
New York, New York —
It’s a hell of a town.
