Well I’m just back from a loooong day (and I don’t have a smart phone, remember), so am gonna just share some photos I took in Chelsea tonite on my way to see a wonderful show by my friend Julie Evans at Winkleman Gallery (also buds). I rarely attend openings, but it was fun!
Anyway, it sure was nippy out there, had to make an urban fire upon my return (ie, turn on the stove). On the subway home, I saw this man reading a book about “Chilean Stones” or “The Stones of Chile” or some title like that, who proceeded to pull on thick woolen gloves before he got off the train. I thought he must not be used to the climate. I remember an Australian friend suffering terribly from the cold of her first few winters, she ultimately moved back to Sydney (for other reasons, I’m sure, as well).
I love this weather, and am hoping to get a little leaf-peeping in this weekend (I hear its peak season upstate), maybe Prospect Park if I can’t get further away. Pretty soon its going to be dark an hour earlier and then its going to be WINTER…but first HALLOWEEN!!! Can’t wait, might even go out this year. Nite-Nite!
(BTW, The last photo is actually from 23rd st/8th ave. subway – that poor boy who I’ve mentioned, STILL MISSING. So so tragic. If you haven’t seen his picture, please look closely. And the first is a detail of one of Evan’s works.)
