A few days ago, a friend and I hopped on board the A train to Fort Tyron Park located in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan.
Destination? The Cloisters. However, upon arrival there was a slight detour…

Alan Binstock’s Wayfinder sculpture is eye candy with the shattered tempered glass and dyed resin that catches the light shining through the trees overhead…not to mention it’s directly across from the New Leaf Restaurant. The shrimp salad served open faced on brioche bread with homemade chips? Fabulous beyond words. And dessert? The Cloisters Museum & Gardens.
A branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Cloisters is devoted to the art of medieval Europe. A beautiful day to explore the park as well as the gardens within. But the weather began to prepare us for a night of thunderstorms as the evening ended…as the George Washington Bridge began to slip away in the fog and heavy stormy clouds.
Visiting the Cloisters is like you’ve been transported to the other side of the pond…a must see!
Thank you for all that you share, the beauty of your images. That one of the bridge is so beautiful!
Your photos look like beautiful postcards tempting visitors to explore further…Just beautiful…xxoo More!
The last picture – Robin, that’s perfect. Even the clouds couldn’t have a better shape. Wow!
After I read this yesterday, Robin, I went off to look for my images of the Cloisters from when I was there a few years back, in 2007. I have never forgotten that place…but I can’t find my file. I’ll find it somewhere, I’m quite sure. HA! In the meantime, I love that we both saw the same place!
ONe of my favorite places on the planet! Wonderful images Robin.
one of these days i’ll get to wander this beautiful city with you, in the mean time thanks for making me feel like i’m there for a bit : ) Your last shot is divine, better than any postcard I’ve seen!
Gosh- i have been there a long time ago when I went to New York for the first time? Great.
