Slice of Manhattan Island, with Central Park on Left, Empire State Building on bottom right. Right of center is the Queensboro Bridge aka 59th Street Bridge aka Ed Koch Bridge aka oh heck...
Do note the horrendous shadows cast by the billionaire towers at the south end of Central Park.

Love the approaching(or retreating) cloud shadow.
Not a place I ever wanted to go to though.

I was JUST thinking the same thing, @mollyc! Especially looking out here and seeing snow, fog, and dreariness!

No, I live in the northwestern corner of the United States, currently traveling between Oregon and Idaho because I live in rural America and my oldest daughter is suffering from cancer and is being treated in a large hospital in Boise, ID. We live in a valley surrounded by hills in the freeway that are often closed to due inclement weather which adds much to the stress we are already having to deal with because of her illness.

Spring/summer is my favorite and the two photos Molly, then I, mentioned, stuck out to me because I was wishing it looked like that around here. I shouldn't be wishing time away however, it flies by on its own. Stereotypical old-lady talk, eh?

Stereotypical? No way. I'm long retired now but remember while working you would often hear on Monday, "I wish it were Friday" and it struck me one day that here we were, wishing our lives away.

Yah!
My wife terminal with Multiple Myeloma and me with thyroid cancer - full house.
Oh "fullhouse" British phrase from bingo. Google it.
Never travelled in US.
St John New Brunswick just north of you I think the nearest point of contact.
Sorry about the Yah!. Dark humour supports our way of surviving.

Looking down the lighted staircase in the hospital Guest House where I've been staying while my daughter is in the hospital.


View attachment 2463652Unfortunately, Tiffany has to stay until Monday because of neurological problems with her new medication but I have to go back for my own appointments and Christmas preparations. We hope and pray that Tiff will be able to be home for Christmas.

Nice that the hospital has a guest house. Along the same lines as Ronald McDonald House I imagine which provides housing for parents who must come from out of town while their child is treated.

M-21 Blackbird “Mother Ship” at the Museum of Flight, Seattle. The M-21 is a variant of the A-12, the earliest Blackbird type. Built for a CIA program code-named “Tagboard,” the M-21 carried unpiloted drones for intelligence gathering. These D-21 drones were intended for launch from the M-21 “mother ship” for flights over especially hostile territory considered too “hot” for piloted Blackbird overflights. The Museum's M-21, built in 1963, is the sole survivor of two M-21s constructed.
