Water Trails

I was taking some pictures of the fountain in the Plaza at Lincoln Center in New York City when I noticed these water trails. The fountain itself is quite fascinating. It goes through cycles: starting with one that is quite innocuous where the level is quite low, and progressively getting higher and higher. The problem is that as it get higher the spray is more and more likely to get caught by the wind and blown onto the plaza. While this can produce interesting abstract patterns (as in the picture) it can also be quite dangerous, creating a very slippery surface in the vicinity of the fountain. If fact while we were there a child slipped and fell.

Impression, Sunset over the Hudson River Pallisades

January 10 was our Wedding Anniversary so went into New York City for dinner and a show. Our train runs along the banks of the Hudson River and as we were travelling down the sun was setting over the other (west) side of the Hudson.

When I took the picture I knew that the camera would focus on the train window, but I let it do so to see what the result would be.

I rather like it.
