New York City, March 27, 2013

★★★★ Sun and returning sun lit parked cars front and rear. A lumpy oval of shadow stood alone on the ground between two vehicles, touching neither, the Venn diagram of nearly invisible eastbound and westbound penumbras. In a Bowery crosswalk, raised letters on a dark steel plate spelled out HALCYON in silver. Where shade held out, in the middle of blocks running uptown-downtown, it was chilly. Late in the day, over Broadway, the sky simultaneously reflected off of and shone through the all-glass corner of an apartment tower.
