Upper East Side, 77th Street Between Madison and Fifth Avenues

This is one of those spots where I make a mental note to come back another time to see it in different conditions, like when the scaffolding comes down or when the doors are closed. But will I? Not likely. Too much walking to do first.

So after the test at Lenox Hill (this is still Wednesday, December 6), I walked across 77th Street to Fifth Avenue and then down Fifth to 72nd Street. A bit more photogenic than the Columbus Avenue walk, but not much.

This is one of the few, and it depends on the sunlight and the backlit man and the black and copper colored van. Who's ever seen a black and copper colored van? Perfect.

So satisfying, all those rectangles. But I think Active Driveway (you'll have to enlarge to see it) and the triangle of sunlight are necessary. Do you think Mondrian would have liked it?

I usually wouldn’t show two photos of the same site, but these look different enough and I like them both enough that I’m violating that rule. Anyone object?

New territory! Doctorland. And, of course, museums. But last Wednesday, my day off, off I went to see the doctor at Lenox Hill Hospital. Afterwards, I walked 77th Street to the East River and back on 78th. But right outside the front door of the hospital was this sweet little shot. I’m not sure why it seems sweet to me, but I’m thinking it must be the rosy colors. Don't forget to enlarge it. Just click.
