Z is for Zany: 'Van Gogh Ear', Rockefeller Centre.

Spring day, visiting Rockefeller Centre, NYC
Rockefeller Centre always surprises!

This visit we were so amused to see an enormous fibreglass swimming pool, upended and titled "Van Gogh's Ear". An inspired installation, zany and fitting for a perfect spring sunday morning on Manhattan.
Beautiful flowers lined the water features and the skyscrapers gleamed against the blue sky. Reminds me why I love a visit to New York, it always surprises me!


And picking up the fresh zingy Citrus Verbena Eau de Toilette from L'Occitane was a treat before ambling off to Central Park.

C is for a Clock: Grand Central Station


The clock atop the information booth in Grand Central Terminal is not only a beautiful work of art, it may be worth more than $10 million, because of the four opal faces on the clock. What a treat to head to Grand Central after arriving early on a sunday morning in New York. We wandered around this glorious building with its vast Concourse, stairways and fine details wherever we looked.
