It's beautiful, even when it's dark

Riverside Park stroll - June 2008 - 079

These pictures were taken during a three hour stroll on a warm, pleasant Sunday afternoon at the beginning of June 2008. I started at 97th St, walked north to the end of the "upper" part of Riverside Park, and then back to 96th St, where there's an underpass below the West Side Highway. I then walked south, past the 79th St. Boat Basin, past the place on 72nd Street where you can rent kayaks, and out to the end of the pier that extends into the Hudson River around 67th St.

In the upper-park area between 96th and 83rd st. ... I assume, from the red tip at the bottom of this woman's cane, that she was blind. But she moved along steadily and confidently, never hesitating for a moment.
