a view from a balcony

last night i was supposed to go see and take pictures of polvo and obits at the south street seaport. the forecast was calling for several inches of rain and massive thunderstorms and by the time i left my office, i knew the show was going to be a no-go. and sure enough, it was cancelled. it was too bad, but thankfully i had an excellent plan b which involved dinner and wine at my friend's tribeca apartment. by the time i got there, i got an update on my phone that the show had not been cancelled, but instead had been moved indoors in brooklyn, but it was too late for me. good friends, good food, and good wine were all i was interested in by then.

after pouring for about an hour straight, the rain suddenly stopped and the most amazing sunset i have ever seen appeared. it looked like the sky was on fire. so we all moved outside to the very high balcony and i got my camera out and took a bunch of pictures. i only manipulated the sunset pictures by upping the contrast a tiny bit. i hope you enjoy them.

 thanks for an awesome evening, ladies!
