Fourth floor lobby between elevators and two directions of halls.
The last door in this direction is a trash chute, for small items.
It was fun for Bing to post this photo as a screen saver the other day!
The view from my desk. I'm kind of struck each morning as the sun blasts its reflection into the windows, which can be blinding compared to the best efforts of my monitor. This was taken a few minutes after the one at dawn on Aug. 15, which I used as a header. I'll share it here too because when I change headers, it's lost from blog archives. Soon I close the vertical blinds with just a crack for fresh air to come in. The Storytime shot says "I've never met the devil (yet) but I imagine it's a pretty scary experience. but then again I guess that's the point."
Saw smokestack dawn again on Aug 17 at 7:03 am.
The 8 am train (came by around 8:25 Saturday) and I didn't bother to close the windows. I noticed when the engineer toots the whistle, it emits white smoke, but there are definitely puffs of black coming out that engine. If I start noticing anything sooty in the apartment, I'll probably change my attitude.
Yes, I'm very happy here.

Tuesday night I woke up at 2:30 am and opened the windows...it was definitely cooler outside than in. And for the first time I stood at the window and saw the stars. I had to block the city lights below me, and there they were. Very nice indeed.

No, I haven't made friends yet. It's coming.
I'm feeling much better health-wise too! The heat has had a break...and I hope it doesn't come back, but it is still August.
Good morning from way over here. You answered my unasked question about happiness, and that makes me happy.
ReplyDelete...it's good to hear that you are settling in well.
