I was walking down 6th Avenue at about 5:30 pm last night – and I saw many things along the way. Many magical wonderful things!!<\/p>\n

There was a haze in the air – an odd hot haze – that made the lengthening of the light even more stark. A strange day – sort of muggy, yet when you got a breeze, it was as cool as an ocean breeze.<\/p>\n

6th Avenue, at around 44th, 43rd … gets very CRAFT oriented (in an industrial way – it’s kind of like the garment district – with entire stores of bangles, or scarves, or silk, or whatever) – as you will see. Some incredible-looking stores. But you also pass “jewelry way” … so it’s an interesting mix.<\/p>\n

I kept trying to capture what the light and shadow looked like on this one particular building. I haven’t quite captured it – but you can KIND of tell how cool it looked.<\/p>\n

Obviously, it was box day in the city. You saw such things everywhere.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\nI passed a couple of stores entirely devoted to buttons. In the long sunset-light rays, the objects shimmered – almost like talismans, or something out of a fairy tale. Magical.<\/p>\n

\nThen I passed all the jewelry stores. To explain why the light was so amazing – these stores were all on the east side of the street – so they were getting the sunset light on them directly.<\/p>\n

\nA couple stores devoted entirely to trim.<\/p>\n

\nA wall of ribbon. Incredible sight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\nI thought this one came out cool. The reflection is of the sun-struck buildings in the first part of this post. Amazing, right?

\nPitstop. Manicure.<\/p>\n
