through the eyes of the a70

Quiet. Serene. Discovery.

I was actually planning to head to dinner, then as I stepped out of the Starbucks after taking a short break and saw that the overcast skies had a small opening in the skies and some sunlight began to shine through. I hurried and took the subway back to where I was this morning – Brooklyn Bridge. It was close to sunset time and I thought something spectacular might happen and I didn’t want to miss it.

I talked myself into walking onto the bridge once again – I had been on there twice already today and all the walking was beginning to wear me out. The closer I got to the first set of pillars, the more colourful the skies were turning. It started with yellow, then orange. Must. Walk. Faster. By the time I got past the point where the cables started, the south side of Manhattan turned pink and purple, then all the different shades you can imagine. Perfect. It was a sunset to remember – and it was well worth it :-)
