12th Street

I started a little project that will soon be coming to an end.

When we moved our offices into the Forbes building a few months ago I was shocked by how beautiful West 12th Street is.

Sunset

I was just going through photos for another post and I was finally able to take the time and check out these photos of a sunset that I took several weeks ago. They’re so pretty.  I just had to share.

Upstate, Downstate

We left the house early a few weeks ago, to get back to the city in time to do some Christmas shopping, and this is what greeted us at the top of the hill.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll probably say it again, but leaving the house is so hard when we’re surrounded by this much beauty.

But, it’s okay.  Especially when the skies are blue and the clouds are fluffy, the air is brisk and the rushrushrush tempo of the city slows down just a wee little bit, like it has this week between Christmas and New Year.

I’m off from work. Like, really off.  Like, barely checking my Blackberry and marking all my emails as “read” without reading them.  So, what have I been doing?  I’ve been out, walking around–Arctic-chill be damned!–marveling at my city like a tourist.

Chatham, New York 6pm

It’s really hard to leave town when even going to the gas station is this beautiful.

14th & 6th

Sometimes after taking an extended break from New York, the idea of going back seems impossible.

The noise, the heat, the dirt, the stress.

But I always come back, no matter how hard it is.

And then I leave the office, turn the corner onto 14th Street and am treated to another stunning sunset and it hits me, there’s no place I would rather be.

I have nothing deeper to say than that.

I’m a sucker for a good sunset.
