I like the photos. The last one, is it the Dakota House behind?
I read the book “the lake of time” from Jack Finney and there is special reported from this house.

Not quite. That’s the San Remo, also on Central Park West but three blocks north of the Dakota. The Dakota is a much lower building, not all that remarkable from inside the park.

What a diverse set of images around one subject – some from the Kayak and some on land but all different and all engaging Vladimir

Thanks, Scott!!
Actually none of these is from the kayak—the water you see are all bodies of water in Central Park. I did not even consider kayaking photos for this post because I have so many, and because they are quite another kettle of fish, so to speak…

What’s not to love about winter, dusk and the changing seasons of the east coast! Lovely pix once again…

Thank you! Actually, one thing I don’t love are the short days, now seriously setting in… but they’ll get longer again before we know it!

Some great stuff here. I am particularly fond of the Guggenheim movement picture.
A side note, you may find amusing – especially given your work. I am tired and I had just been reading a lovely blog called Les Petits Pas de Juls
(http://lespetitspasdejuls.wordpress.com/about-me/) by a French woman who now lives in Mexico I believe, when I clicked over to your post. I looked at the headline and read the title “Expat Life In the City”.
So it goes.

Thanks, Robert! Expat Life In the City? Could well be! ;-)
As for Les Petit Pas de Juls, I’ve come across that blog too (very nice)—these Photo Challenges encourage travel around the blogosphere, if nothing else….

What a treat, Vladimir – oh my beautiful city! By the way, I too do not look forward to the short days of winter. When the sun sets before 7, I start to feel a primitive seasonal anxiety about shortening days. Shortest days were when I lived in Portland, Oregon, but it was so gray all the time in winter, who could tell? Soaking up as much evening light as I can these days …

I know exactly what you mean…
I used to live in Edinburgh, where in the depths of winter it wouldn’t get light until 9 AM and be dark again at 3 PM.
In the summer, on the other hand… :-)

You get waterscapes and cities—two for the price of one. And animals, of course. And autumn colors. And sunsets… :-)
