While sharing some views out the window of a studio at the end of the building, and a view looking left from the front entrance to the Cite, I also have to share this man walking down rue de Rivoli next to L'Hôtel de Ville. It's very chilly out, he's wearing a nice suit, gloves, scarf and hat. If only I'd taken a movie so you could see how confidently he was walking. It was very classy.

In the views from the window, you can see the little playground at the end, the Hotel de Sens (which is NOT a hotel) across the street and Hotel "something or other" (a state administrative building) which is to the left of the entry to the parking area. It have a nicely managed garden but it's a no-no to go up there to that space. We love going into other studios to see the different views. Everyone loves out view, however, since we have the Seine, Ile St. Louis, and Notre Dame. We love it, too.

More NYC fun

I spotted this water sampling station in Chelsea. I'd never seen one before and neither had the people I was with and they live in Manhattan. The Chrysler and the Empire State buildings! How's that for a NYC playground? Perfect! Here's the new Apple store? Building? on 14th Street. Last time we were in the city, this building was a grocery store of some sort. Now it's three floors of Apple showroom, playhouse, um, whatever.









We went to a lot of galleries in Chelsea last Saturday. At Eyebeam (I think that's where it was) I saw this video on the VideoBox, which is on the outside of the building, note my reflection. See the word "DO!" I loved the video being shown. It was by João Leonardo, a typographic video of a letter by Sol LeWitt, the one he wrote to Eva Hesse. I love that letter!
