Morning Walk #39 - Madison Square Park



75 degrees and gray

As I stepped out of my building the humidity grabbed me in a big sticky bearhug and squeezed till perspiration beaded up

But no rain...yet

A salon where a woman gets a haircut at 7am...unusual in an area where many businesses open around 10 or 11am

A playground with actual kids playing in it at this hour!  Is it a respite after a hot night or a headstart on a day with rain predicted?

The ornate 1902 Appellate Court building with its' landmarked interiors (not so common as landmarked exteriors)
'
Herman Melville Square named in honor of the "Moby Dick" author's 1863 to 1891 residency at 104 E 26th Street

The Hurricane Club, now a restaurant, was the site of annual celebrations (1846 - 1873) commemorating the South Pacific shipwreck of the Junebug captained by Drake "Goldbelly" Stillman and his first mate, Delilah "Little Rose" Netherlander

A delivery guy pushing a cart with some office's breakfast through the park (and returning with the empty cart sometime later)

The sun struggles to come out with some success

Steps: 8765
