Blanking the Slate

New York City today reached the unseasonably high temperature of 57 degrees or so.  Positively balmy.  That called for seizing the day with a morning run - a way to clear the mind of the stresses of work, a way to counterbalance the caloric intake of the holidays.

The relatively warm temperatures also beckoned a jaunt out onto the terrace - to check out the loud noises that begin at 7 am on some days.  The unmistakable sound of construction and development.  And here is what I spied...

Wider angle.

Closer in.
The cluster of three buildings caddy-corner from my terrace is almost completely demolished and gone - a virtual blank slate for them to start from.  That happened quickly, I suppose, after a very long spell of nothing happening at all.  Seems the Brearley girls will soon get their new "campus" building.  I only hope it will be modest and unassuming, and block as little of the light and air as is possible.
