a wet day in NYC


New York, today, was extraordinarily wet, and increasingly cold, and the streets increasingly became a morgue of umbrellas.  And then, suddenly, the clouds lifted, or rather rolled off to become a thick purply-brown bank above New Jersey, and Lower Manhattan was bathed in gold.

Note the banners on the shore of Battery Park, looking over to the (presumably shut) Statue of Liberty; and note that they celebrate the presence and contribution of immigrants to this country.
