Back to the City

Well, I'm back.  My overnight flight went well, and I got into JFK in time to have lunch with Jeffery and his lady co-workers. Browsed my new environs at the Essex House hotel, which is right on Central Park south.
Had a really nice roof-top dinner at Kaylen and Erin's apartment and got to see Teddi and Georgia, too.
Here are just a few photos to get me started.  I'm not taking excellent shots, so I only give you ones I like.

A bunch of workers spent two days cleaning the monument to The Main

These "naked" people watched, and were watched

statue in a shop window

various objets d' arte for sale

Jeffery and I wondered if the covered motorcycles out front were Goldwings

tile art at 8th St.

the morning light made this building almost seem part of the sky

the same building later in the day (center background)

tempting shoppe

St. John the Divine

they are doing construction beside the Cathedral

and this is what they'll build 

one of the plaques to the Philosophers

admonishments from on high

tiny person in the arch looking outward

subway tile art

another bit of it

one of maybe 10 trucks around Madison Square Garden.  Do you think Queen and Adam Lambert are playing??

afternoon storm portended, but did not dampen the day
