it was awesome! they are gorgeous, huge metal flowers, bugs and leaves that huddle in the medians and tower up into the skyscrapers! i had a great time taking them all in, and found that i wasnt the only random artfan enjoying them in the middle of the afternoon.
i especially like this photo with a woman in a red coat walking down the median. i assume she must have been trying to hail a cab, and she was certainly putting an awful lot of energy into it. but i loved how her red coat looked like one of the petals. she was getting away.
there were even some petals scattered along, which i found kind of sad as i walked north on the west sidewalk. walking south on the east sidewalk though they looked completely different in the sunlight.
after that adventure i headed over to fifth ave and got lost in bergdorf's for a while, which was a lot of fun. if youre going to get turned around you might as well turn into oscar de la renta, chanel and the like.
as usual when i find myself in that neck of the woods i stopped by to see the windows at tiffanys and to say a prayer at St. Patrick's.
it was a great afternoon, which ended with my happening upon a free wine tasting. fantastic.
i have just gotten back from the library. a friend who was also on a break last year gave me some great advice: this is an excellent time to read some classics. so i picked up Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. we wil see!
