Dream Windows

Bergdorf's up near Central Park

What a lion!

and  metallic sorts of dresses too

 with details and ruffles 

In ABC Carpet, instead of a carpet, there is earth in the window

 with marigolds growing beneath the picnic table.

Reflections, Windows and a View

A window on 22nd Street with some odd reflective surface

reveals all the U-Haul truck waiting to haul someone's stuff .....somewhere......

Such elegant, tall windows on 20th Street.

Looking out of my study window, I see a worker on his way either up or down to/from the roof.

Rather nerve-wracking if you ask me.

A bakery in Chinatown on a Saturday evening.

Spring on 21st Street

Squares and Windows

Brilliant crisp morning light.

More of the same.

An interior window between the bar and the dining room at The Half King on 23rd Street.

The bar is painted the most wonderful terra cotta pink.

Friday Windows and Reflections

Peonies at Union Square. Yum. 

I cannot think why I didn't buy them.

A very shiny tasteful window display at ABC Carpet on Broadway.

A very shiny untasteful window display at a clairvoyant's on 20th Street.

What's this with clairvoyants anyway?

Note the reflection of the psychic traffic cone....

In keeping with the clairvoyant theme, this window

 had sort of ectoplasm in it -- or a sheet.....

Between 5th and 6th Avenues.

Almost chartreuse.

Windows

Windows, doors, gates, archways, the things inbetween

 other things, exert a fascination that borders on natural 

law - like watching the flow of water, the lick of flames

 or even a lava-lamp for heaven's sake. Anyway, a lovely

 tatty window box at an elegant window with interior shutters.

 Geraniums are the very devil; they need constant attention.

  

So rare to see windows flung wide in the city - a breath of fresh air.

Is this green truck succeeding in being retro and almost 

(visually) socially acceptable? Anyway, easy on the eye.

Such shadows, white on white.

Essentially the same view. Day and night.

London Details

We ate a lot of salad in London, since we had been too nervous to eat it in India.

The vegetables there were wonderful, but we only ate them cooked.

In London, a brisk wind batted the clouds through a blue sky.

(Tottenhan Court Road opposite M&S.)

A white on white window near Great Ormond Street.

I was walking to the Persephone Bookshop on Lamb's Conduit Street

where I bought four books, even though I'm rather fierce about carrying heavy luggage.

I particularly recommend Tea with Mr.Rochester by Frances Towers.

If you don't know Persephone Books, go there now.

What a door! Window frame, railings, fanlight, side alley.

The very apotheosis of door-ness.

This doorway with primroses and black plastic bin-bag looks as if someone lives there.
