Sometimes nothing can beat a rooftop view, especially when it’s at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Looking out at the clouds in the fading light over the great expanse of Central Park, you can’t help but feel like a million bucks. The clouds seem much closer than the city buildings. I know that’s not true, but that’s how it feels. On this day, I was more struck by the light than the clouds. Every person on that rooftop was bathed in a friendly glow, engaging in communal appreciation of the striking silhouettes of the skyline and the strange sculpture (Big Bambú by Doug and Mike Starn) nearby. Oh, those summer nights!
