The day provided lovely, summer-like weather so we took the opportunity to take another long walk. Among the various places we visited were the 9/11 site where the building is taking place now at break-neck speed. WTC building is now at 50% of its slated 104 stories.
Then we walked to Pier 17 and had some lunch followed by a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. It was from there that I caught this photo of this grand lady still standing strong. I slightly adjusted this photo to bring out color and contrast because of the haze that made the scene slightly murky. Then I cropped it to bring the distant cranes in parallel with her. I think only walking on the bridge could I have found this opportunity.

The other two wonderful ladies are shown in this next photo. Our daughter Melisse and her long-term partner Tif were married on Friday and then celebrated in a formal wedding / commitment event on Sunday. Here Melisse and Tif are seated in a lovely room having their photos taken by the wedding photographer, whom you can see in the mirror. I saw this "shot" and grabbed it, showing part of the story of this wonderful wedding event: Melisse and Tif, wearing their wedding clothes, the photographers, the opulent setting.
