It seemed to be shouting, “Congratulations!” right along with the rest of us. The wedding-eve sunset joined in the celebration. It was a gorgeous event made even more so by its location on the Oregon coast. We went to Oregon for a joyous occasion, the wedding of Jordan and Megan, daughter of our good friends Bill and Linda. Too bad the actual sunset didn’t cooperate. As sophisticated and “I’m too cool” as they may act while walking down the street, in the right situation they can and do get just as goofy as the rest of us. That is one thing I’ve grown to love about New Yorkers. So perfect, in fact, it came with entertainment. In our neighborhood, the 42nd Street overpass was a perfect spot.
But it didn’t keep people from trying to get the best view. In order to see the full effect, one has to stand out in the middle of the street…no easy task in this city. Before we left, however, New York gave us Manhattanhenge, a hopefully spectacular sunset aligning with the east-west street grid. In scrolling through my pictures, it’s apparent much has happened since the last post. Where I left off, we were saying good-bye to Sherry and thinking about packing our bags for a quick weekend turnaround in Portland.
