Taking refuge from the heat

Last Sunday it was only in the eighties (26-29°C), but this weekend it hit the mid nineties with lots of humidity. So I’m taking a break from the great outdoors today, which gives me the chance to post some more shots from June 1st.

It was a beautiful day last Sunday with fresh breezes and the occasional cloud, unlike today’s unremitting, brutal baking from the sun.

The ‘race’ between the two masted schooner ‘Imagine’ and the small sloop who’s name I did not get was quite entertaining. Though I’m not sure of the drink imbibing paying passengers in the main deck area actually appreciated the overtaking maneuver and the jibe around the bows of the sloop. But it was fun to watch from the shore. Also look out for the wonderful bronze sculptures in the park along the Hudson River

A Sunday Stroll in New York City

It was a beautiful sunny last Sunday so starting out in Brooklyn, where I live, I headed over to the Battery Park and Riverside Park area on the southern tip of Manhattan, where there was sure to be lots going on. Here is a first batch of shots.

I will endeavor to post most more from this session, including some volley ball and some sailing on the Hudson. But it’s getting late so I’ll just post this thing, and add some captions tomorrow. So goodnight, and here’s a pretty tune from the dim past…
