A beautiful sunset. The Verrazano is visible in the distance, at the left. And those twig shapes on the rooftops? Old TV antennas. Ask your parents about them and the role of aluminum foil in television reception.

This picture of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Arch wasn’t taken yesterday evening, because it was rainy and the skies weren’t pink. Sailors, stay home today and mend your sails. Soldiers, there’s no rhyme to guide your day depending on the color of the sky. Sorry.

I was standing around at Smith & 9th, waiting for a train. The elevated views from the platform almost always keep me entertained; yesterday evening was no exception.

Cold and crisp at 5:00 PM. Regardless of what the signs state, the park was not closing at dusk. It was too fun being out in the first snow of the season and sledding in the near-dark.

The outdoor light this fall has tended toward extremes. Either you’re shading your eyes from the bright light or trying to remember the last time you saw a shadow because it’s so gray. Every couple weeks there’s a fluorescent sunset. What’s winter got in store for us?
I’d like to report those were UFO’s

The little green men will arrive another day – the streaky lights in this sky are not something to get excited about. Planes flying into the NYC airports come in over the Verrazano, to the left of the picture, then over Brooklyn. Sometimes six or more are visible.

It was an unusual sunset, being so blue. That’s a city bus going by in the foreground.

Sunset, looking south. Just to the right of center is a Liquidambar styraciflua (American Sweetgum, Redgum), a deciduous tree in the genus Liquidambar native to warm, temperate areas of eastern North America … in case you were wondering.
