New York City, October 5, 2015

★★★★ Light bounced off glass in great flooding sheets, glanced off the quilted side of a food cart to make twisting figures on the sidewalk. People were out in their drab chilly-weather clothes. It took some searching to find a warm spot of afternoon sunlight, and a cloud fairly quickly picked it off. The switch from foot socks to full socks was not enough for the office; a space heater had to be deployed under the desk. The Empire State Building stood side by side with the upside-down Empire State Building of negative space up Fifth Avenue, in the rich late-day glow. A man paused to take frame the sun-flooded pillars and arches atop the MacIntyre Building in his cameraphone.
