The Vessel

This is a honeycomb sculpture-style structure seen on the High Line in Manhattan, NYC.  The image was made shortly after it was opened in 2019, and sadly, before 3 suicides closed it permanently to the public.  All of the components were manufactured in Italy and then transported to America for construction.

Rain

It rained today. All day. A lot.

The dreary weather didn't seem to bother the tourists who were out in full force inbetween the downpours. There were three turtles on the beach today. The tourists were happy.

Even with the adverse weather, the beach was beautiful. Even though I was huddled under an umbrella, getting sprayed with the blowing rain, it was great being at the beach--hearing the waves break, watching the surfers, seeing the turtles romp in the surf, once again teasing the few tourists who braved the less than perfect conditions.

The ocean has a strong pull.
