Summer in the City, Part I, Random Thoughts

Riverside Park--a weekly picnic dinner with friends by the water.  A constantly changing configuration of people.  Food, drink and conversation.  Cooling breezes.  Sunset over the Hudson.  Chilling out after a long, busy day.

Strolling along the riverfront, past the outdoor yoga class; dodging the bicycles and joggers.  Passing solitary readers, and pairs sharing private moments of whispered conversations.  Weaving through the crowd at the Boat Basin Cafe.  Riverside Park is alive with people and art.  A new waterside sculpture program, stretching from West 72nd Street to West 65th (?). 

Is there no one willing to pay the price to turn on all the lights on the GW bridge, or will we have to be satisfied with a single, horizontal string of lights guiding us northward?
