Two more shots from Newport, that low wide ivory colored shape along the water in the top one is the Houston Street pier; the red building to it's left is the Archive which has appeared in a number of the Christopher Street photos. If you click on it, you be able to see the black water tower from a few weeks back. That big silvery structure that looks like a cigarette lighter is the most recent monument to Donald Trump's ego. Quite the controversy surrounding it, he fought tooth and nail to build it in Soho but the Historical Preservation Society prevented that, so he put it up on Varick Street, the border of Soho, and there have been a number of worker deaths related to it. The second photo is self-explanatory, the big box is the terminal for the Holland Tunnel. If you look closely at the top photo again, you'll see its twin, which is on the Canal Street pier where I like to sunbathe.
