Chrononauts 1

I have more Saint Lawrence posts, but with a chrononautical weekend behind us, let me digress and report.  The mood for the first ship was set by the weather;  see what the mist did to my favorite downtown building–70 Pine.  Click here and be treated to a slideshow of views through time of boro Manhattan’s  tall observation cliffs, past present and future.

Looking eastbound up the East River, I saw her waiting, as

first one of her entourage arrived and

and then another.

The term “haze gray” was certainly demonstrated yesterday,

as was the vintage of this Liberty ship headed to sea, for a cruise.

 

Even the Higgins T-boat in the distance is a whole decade closer to the present–in inception– than Brown, although  yesterday all crowded into 2016.

 

It was a moving sight,

which I beheld,

only slightly regretting I was not aboard.
