The Solstice continued

This evening we went to Bryant Park, a very pleasant green oasis hiding behind the main City Library, along with about 5,000+ other people to watch 'Goldfinger' in the open air.
A party atmosphere ensued from the lawns opening at 5pm until the film started at 9pm.
Crowd participation started with the arrival of a set of gold balloons in the form of '007' and long after they had been released, the crowd cheered and whooped at certain cliches in the film.

Meanwhile, back on 34th St before the film started, Manhattanhenge occurred. The setting sun streaming straight down the avenue from the west to the East.

Apologies for the lateness of the posting and perhaps even the quality, but it's been a long and very warm day at 32, and even I get tired sometimes.

End of Week One - Three More To Go

Sorry yesterdays entry was kind of short, walking for four of five hours a day in 80+ plus heat and oppressive humidity gets tiring. So far Ive not investigated any night life, as I've been too busy or too tired, but I'm going to start to redress the balance tonight with Norah Jones in Concert at Prospect Park, to kick off the 'Celebrate Brooklyn' festival.

Next on my hit list is the NewFest, the LGBT Film festival, closely followed by the Bryant Park summer of open air movies, and rounded off nicely by the Tribeca Film Festival .......oh yes and not forgetting Shakespeare in the Park, which will this year include Al Pacino in The Merchant Of Venice. Links to all of the events are at the bottom of the page. Suncream and Popcorn are optional extras.
