Best of this summer

It started at NYC. I picked Sue up at JFK and spent a day at NYC. We only planned to go to the ship graveyard at Staten Island and the Guggenheim Museum.

The ship graveyard is now not letting people take photos since someone fell and got hurt. Sue managed to snatch a few before the guy who worked there discovered us and escorted us out.

The Guggenheim Museum is having a special exhibit of Frank Lloyd Wright's work for their 50th anniversary. FLW is the architect who designed the museum among other great buildings. The exhibit and the museum itself are impressive, and it made me think about an alternate universe where I got into an architecture school and became an architect. The regular exhibit of this Guggenheim is simply dwarfed by the neighboring MoMA and the Met.

Between the ship graveyard and Guggenheim we walked the Central Park a little on our way from the subway to the museum. The cloud was gathering and as Ansel Adams had said the sky is most interesting before a thunderstorm. Unfortunately we were caught by the storm when we came out of the Museum.
