What a gas
What a gas, I am staying in the Affinia Dumont hotel. Here on the seventh floor whether looking down or up the view is fascinating. Early doors there are helicopters ferrying people to high profile work. Just across the street, well I am English, in their roof garden are two priests walking back and forth reading their bibles. The gold trimmed pages glitter in the bright sun light. Below workers like busy bees stop to collect their ration of nectar at the corner delicatessen. The Chrysler building is splendiferous, but Central Park calls.

Thank you Tannille… There have been some marvellous post this week,
Dear Michael,
Nice job of setting the scene.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you Rochelle, … There have been many marvellous posts this week. Unfortunately my commenting skills have failed to do them justice.
Love New York, and Central Park in the spring. Hoping it will soon return to its normal self.
Me to, for me this lock down reinforces how much I we should value the freedom to travel
I especially like the priests
Thank you Neil… there are many marvellous posts this week. I wish that I had better commenting skills.
Great memories – or hopefully premonitions.
Thank you Antony… Memories …I hope to be able to visit New York again. There are many marvellous posts this week.
That cappuccino looks great!
It certainly was. I can’t wait for the coffee shops to reopen. There are some cracking posts this week, sadly my abilities to intelligently comment are below parr.
Lovely images there, Michael. Very well described. A great scene set 🙂
Thank you Lynn, I really enjoyed my time in New York… there are many cracking posts this week, sadly my commenting skills are well below parr.
Nice to have some nice memories of that poor beleaguered city.
This week I felt the need to show how special New York can be…. thank you for your comment Lynn.
My pleasure ☺️
I loved “their ration of nectar,” Nicely told bird’s-eye view 🙂

Michael, most of us just appreciate anyone who takes the time to comment. That’s an encouragement in itself.
That is true, thank you Linda
That’s how you take a vacation. Bask in the nuances.

Memories of New York… lovely
Thank you Dale, There are many brilliant posts this week, I regret that my ability to give feedback is below parr much of the time. Stay safe. Mike
Yes, there are!
Quite a hive of activity going on there. Humans delude themselves into thinking they are separate from the rest of the life forms.
The view from my hotel window was a writers paradise. There are many brilliant posts this week, I regret that my ability to give feedback is below parr much of the time. Stay safe. Mike
No worries, Mike. Just keep writing and reading 🙂
I will, thank you
Central Park is still calling, though nowadays it is has only spots of individuals walking or jogging in isolation and donning masks, and is dotted with blooming trees but also with the white expanse of the tents in the field hospitals … It is not a normal spring. It is not the NYC as we know it.
Thank you Na’ama, There are many brilliant posts this week, I regret that my ability to give feedback is below parr much of the time. I am sad about the need for tented field hospitals. I truly hope that scientists find a vaccine soon.
I don’t think there’s any need (or wish) to judge the ‘level’ of feedback! Reading each other’s work is far more important, in my view, than the exact words one uses. It is the community that matters to me! (and your comments are great, besides). As for NYC, yes … I hope the park will soon return to what it was – the backyard of so many of us in the city, the place to be, hang out, meet friends, play together, rest together. May the bug be evicted. Amen.
The community matters, that is well said. Mike
🙂 Yay to community, Mike! 🙂
I could have been there. Well described.
Thank you Sandra…There are many many great posts this week,
Top work, Michael.
Thank you Doug. There are many great posts this week, which I would have liked to comment upon, sadly my commenting skills are often well below parr.
Happier times. You painted the picture nicely!
Happier times indeed, this week I felt the need to show how special New York can be…. thank you for commenting draliman
