Sculpture By Turnini
Marble and Granite
Washington Square Park
Garibaldi is always here. The marble and granite statue has been here since it’s dedication in 1888.
one of my favorite spots in the city… even on cold days in winter (today the temperature is 14 degrees as I take my morning walk) even after a six-inch snowfall the park is a welcoming place.
I like the privacy and the intimacy that this public space allows.
Sometimes there is this young musician with his baby grand piano…he’s here today actually…playing Bethoven or Chopin…or another classical piece. He moves the baby grand about…sometimes he is near Garibaldi…other times nearer the fountain or the arch. He plays beautifully in all kinds of weather and the music can be heard throughout the park.
Sometimes there is a jazz group …but I don’t see them here so often in winter.
There are always young lovers…just happy to be together…and old couples… sometimes happier than the young ones.
Everyone in his or her own bubble.. that sometimes allows for interaction from without…and sometimes not.
Just floating along in a kind of lazy, laid-back way…thats where I am today…
first Saturday of the new year…

in Washington Square Park
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
