Dusk in the City

 

Stan had a field trip for his class today, and we met at The Great Lawn in Central Park.  It was an amazing turnout of the people in his class - there were twenty of us!  The assignment involved photographing the moon.  Unfortunately the moon was really high in the sky - 45 degrees up from the horizon, so there was no way to get a first quarter moon hanging over these buildings just south of Central park.  We were there for two hours and I got to watch the sun go down, and dusk set in, and the lights come on in the buildings.  I haven't seen that in years, because when I come in to visit museums I usually leave when it is still light out to beat the rush hour home.  This was lovely to watch the lights fade while we were there.

  1. Lovely photo of the skyline and I like the balance of the short and tall buildings. Happy you had a chance to enjoy this time of day in the City after many years.

  2. What a nice way to end the class. Love the contrast between the lawn and trees of Central Park and the skyline of short and tall buildings. betsey
