So while we wait for this endless rain to stop, here's a back view of the spectacular Frank Geary building with its patchwork quilted window neighbor that I posted last Friday. That's a chunk of the High Line in the foreground, the massive renovation project that has spawned all the other construction in both Chelsea and the Meat-Packing District.

Those of you who've  followed this blog for a while may remember that I worked at an art fair in Chelsea in early March. I posted some rainy day photos and then went back a few days later to shoot the same area in the sunshine. This is one of the photographs I took that second day. Funny, after shooting this because I now work in that building in the foreground, I realized I'd shot it before. I wish it was this sunny today.

Still raining in New York, and it was also pretty chilly this afternoon too. Booo! It's rained so much this week the river is a good eight feet higher, very swollen, almost smooth, and it's odd not to see all those mooring posts that usually stick out of the water. So here's a sunny West Side Highway late afternoon scene around Chelsea, with water towers, storage warehouses, a crane, and the Empire State Building. 

Still pouring in New York, the whole east coast I suppose, you'd think we were in Seattle or Dublin. This is for me, from my walks home of a building a few blocks south and west of where I work, although that graffiti is on another building to the east as well. The full message in both places is Read XXX You Go Girl. Cars Kill is probably because of the perilous West Side Highway, which those late to bloom trees line. 

It's been pouring in New York all day, we have had one of those weeks where it just seems to have been raining constantly, although I walked downtown last evening and saw some sun. Perhaps we will get to see one of these soon, wouldn't that be fun? Pot o' gold hunting, anyone?

Two towers in my new neighborhood, the one on the left is actually a block behind the one on the right and next door to where I'm working. The one on the right is still being built, there are glass-less windows behind all that scaffolding. There is a certain optical illusion going on here, but the new structure does in fact curve out out at a funny angle.

Part of what I love about my walks home are the amazing buildings on the way. To the right is the incredibly gorgeous Frank Geary structure across from the Chelsea Pier Sports Complex. There will be more shots of in it the near future because it is too hard not to be mesmerized by it, especially with that new blue patchwork tower rising up next to it.
