First Impressions
Apartment View
Great view from the apartment… and of the neighbours…
La Petite Ceinture
We also walked the length of La Petite Ceinture, a disused ancient railway line that has been transformed into a park. I had been hoping that it would be a little like the High Line in NY, affording me elevated views of the surrounding area but it was really the opposite, sunken and surrounded by tall trees, dark and lovely.

A New Monstrosity
Just as everyone who can afford it seems to be moving out of the city, monstrous new luxury apartment buildings are going up all over. This one, cleverly, goes up and over the nicer-looking, neighborhood-sized building it abuts.
Brick Pointing
Backyard
After coming out of quarantine the pipes in the floor of our 90 year old apartment building sprang a leak flooding our downstairs neighbor. The work undertaken by the building to fix this properly for the long term has meant the destruction of our bathrooms so we’re spending our evenings in a cheap hotel off Broadway in the neighborhood so we can go to the bathroom in the night if we need to and shower. A hotel room view.

I think I may have photographed this before. I’m always struck by this new glass and steel apartment tower of Babel apparently rising out of MLK’s words.
