Snow, Second Avenue

Eager beaver deep underground... Look up “beaver” and “astor” on Google ... ... the historical link between lots of fur and lots of money... Here you go: link.

Third Avenue

Busy, busy, at the Rockefeller Center

Moody liberty

Lyn Tranter outside our favorite New York restaurant, Parish and Co on 9th Avenue in Chelsea, for lunch with John Ashbery and David Kermani

Park, damn you!

Go right, young man!

Hello... hello?...

The hidden link: Money, the Tree of Life, and Santa Claus.

Each year the baubles get bigger and the Santas get smaller... ... and more musical...

Looking for illumination in the east eighties... ...maybe this is it...

Lyn Tranter... ...‘cloche’ means ‘bell’ in English. (It’s also related to ‘clock’... ain’t life strange?) Danger! Very tall person inside!

Stability? ... oh, sure.

If the rats don’t get you... ...the blue hippies will...

Hippies... rats...                     Ah, that’s better... no rats... ... and don’t mention the apostrophe, okay?

Flags, and more flags... what’s this obsession with flags?

Fallout shelters guarded by baby angels...

... but no shelter from rampant Modernism.

Imaginary taxis...

... and look out for the law, Joe.

... time to get the subway home...

A glass of dry white at the Orsay, Third Avenue... ... and it’s Merry Christmas, and good night from him... ... then it’s back to Australia, at the bottom of the world.
