How unusual that bright ship lighting is along the waterfront! Interesting! What city, may I ask?

Thanks! New York City (Manhattan, actually). Always “the” city to those of us who live there…. pretty funny when you think about it objectively! Thanks for commenting.

Really! Wow. I almost thought it was Seattle – we get cruise ships galore in the summer – but that’s wonderful that it’s in Manhattan. Have a lovely holiday! :)

Ah, Seattle! The prettiest harbor I’ve ever seen (until I saw Seattle, I thought Oslo was the most beautiful). I love NYC, but part of that is its mix of loveliness and industrial squalor. Have a wonderful holiday yourself, Theresa!

That’s really interesting, comparing Seattle as a harbor to Oslo and to NYC, Johna. Thank you for admiring my town! :)

Nice. Festive. Taken from your kayak? I love paddling at night (with a lot of lights and good company). So quiet and peaceful. Haven’t done it this time of year. Last Manhattan Night Circ with HarborLAB friends and guests was at the peak of the heat wave we had last summer. Thought twice about doing it on account of the heat and humidity but, once on the water no second thoughts. Was fantastic. Only place to catch a breeze.
