Down by the Riverside....

I took a walk down to the Hudson River at lunch hour today. Despite my office being in the west side of Manhattan (the Hudson Yards area to be exact),  it surprisingly still took a long time just to get to the river's edge!

Lunch Hour

It was a crappy day--gray and super wind--but nevertheless good to explore! Around 30th Street, I finally got to the river and came across this - pretty cool!
Aha - I saw a caboose when glancing further south - "very interesting" - gotta check this out on a sunny day!

The only way to get all of these huge skyscrapers in a photo is to get far enough away - way down by the riverside!

Yep - High Winds!! See the flag? It was tough just to walk....

 Shades of yesteryear - these cement monstrosities are covered in barnacles--remnants of an old pier (probably pulled out by an enormous crane!),
 This is carved stone - its nice to see they are being saved!
 Ah yes - there's that crazy Rib Cage :-)

After Work

The walk to Grand Central takes about a half hour but it's always a treat to see Grand Central - especially at Christmastime with all the lights! :-)
