the city

Grand Central Station
In case you're wondering where I've been lately, I've been in the city. That's what we always called it, "the city", and there was never any question what city we were talking about. It was not just any city, it was the city.

...still a little early...
rush, rush!! it's almost rush hour!
I cannot believe how clean the subways are - and no more tokens!

The "Interwoven Globe" exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was absolutely stunning, but sorry, we weren't allowed to take pictures in the galleries. Been ten years since I was in the city. Glad to be back for a visit.

  2. 4am is more than a little early in my world but it appears The City still bustles. I'll be there in December and am always looking for good exhibit recommendations. Also, the photos were not small on my monitor and I really enjoyed them.

  3. The Interwoven exhibit is fantastic. If you go to see it, think about the difficulties people from centuries ago faced in making all of those amazing embroideries and fabrics and quilts. If we break a needle we just get another one from the package. If my light is too dim or I can't see well enough I turn up the light and put on the magnifier. Not only are the designs incredible in the exhibit but the very fact of their existence stuns the imagination.
