| Sunset across New York City, Spring 2007 |
The impression that most people have of living quarters in New York City is one of a brick wall outside the windows. Sadly in some cases it is true; therefore the impression has some merit.
I am very lucky to have wide-open views from large windows that face south and southwest. Especially in the spring and autumn the sunsets can be breathtaking.
Here are some outstanding examples. |
| New York City Sunset, Spring 2007 |
|  | “When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator.”
— Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) |
“If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God.”
— G. K. Chesterton (English Critic, Essayist, Novelist and Poet, 1874-1936) | | | New York City Sunset, Spring 2007 |
|
| New York City Sunset, Spring 2007 |
| | “The sky broke like an egg into full sunset and the water caught fire.”
— Pamela Hansford Johnson (American Critic, Author and Writer, 1912-1981) |
“Nobody of any real culture, for instance, ever talks nowadays about the beauty of sunset. Sunsets are quite old fashioned. To admire them is a distinct sign of provincialism of temperament. Upon the other hand they go on.”
— Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) | | | New York City Sunset, October 2007 |

| New York City Sunset, October 2007 |
| | “Come, my friends,
’Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.”
— Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) |
“Sunsets in themselves are generally superior to sunrises; but with the sunset we appreciate images drawn from departed peace and faded glory.”
— George Stillman Hillard (1808 - 1879) | | | New York City Sunset, October 2007 |
|
| New York City Sunset, October 2007 |
| | “The sacred lamp of day
Now dipt in western clouds his parting day.”
— William Falconer, “The Shipwreck” (1732 - 1769) |

Von, my brother lives right across the street from the Biltmore and we often lunch there. It is indeed nice! Glad you enjoyed your stay in South Florida. Homer | Rhondaj Tue Feb 24, 2009 11:49 UTC
Hello from South Jersey...! Very nice home page. Rome is a fantastic city! I have enjoyed all my European trips. The economy has been keeping us stateside lately. Wish I had my own wings so I could fly over myself...haha! |
