I suppose that I felt a bit embarrased that I have now spent a few days in New York City (with a rest), but had not properly seen Brooklyn Bridge. There are quite a few things that I probably should have seen, but haven't.
I like walking in the rain, and it was drizzling gently as I ambled through central park. Felt quite wet by the time that I got to the Guggenheim. So went into the cafe.
As I walked on, I got to Grand Central Station. It seemed more like a cathedral to me than a railway station. I design the re-wiring of buildings, when they are refurbished for a living, and to my silly mind it felt like a building that had been designed for the worship of an omnipotent god; but had later been converted into a building to marshall people leaving an (omnipotent?), railway line.
That left me wandering what I was worshipping. It's a fabulous building. Go to see it, if you can. Is it a cathedral to capital?
