Happy spring. All photos in this post were taken in winter two days ago and over a six-hour period. Before noon, the five boros and the next state were obscured out of existence. I really think they didn’t exist during those hours, just like the imaginary sun crossed (??) the imaginary equator at 11:33 NYC time. Crossed . . by boat or chariot or blimp or goat cart . . . I don’t know.
Kimberly passed by and Robbins Reef was barely there. Mariner brought boxes in, and Kirby passed by, and they might as well have been at sea.
Neptune shuttled by, and hints of Bayonne showed themselves.
Justine came by and the sunshine was making progress burning off the moisture.
When Cape Canaveral crossed in front of me, Manhattan was there, albeit like a matte painting; right, that’s just a movie set, right?
The large gray ship . . . Soderman, that too was a different painted background, this time for Captain D.
Before Mary Turecamo appeared over on the starboard side of New York‘s trans-harbor load of containers, I had no idea what I was seeing.
It wasn’t until well into the afternoon and–in the near distance–Bert Reinauer passed overtaking the Vane unit that I saw a boat pass by without a hint of fog. That, however, was mostly due to the proximity
All photos, Friday, WVD.
