This is one of those instances where I don’t even feel like I’m in Manhattan. It’s hard to see, but there’s a nice waterfall back there.

I always love the rooftop of The Met, and today couldn’t have been a more perfect day.
“Tomás Saraceno on the Roof: Cloud City” opened up on Tuesday, and I’ve been anxiously awaiting it. The structure is made out of steel, mirrors and plexiglass (I think?). You can pay to walk in/through it.
I don’t know what kind of heat they’re packing, but look at those bags!
A couple of the snipers (or sharp shooters? I don’t know what they’re actually called) that were on our roof. I am OBSESSED with them. The internal SWAT team was also pretty sweet looking.
Signs across the street at a school. I thought the basketball one was cute.
The top secret white tent.
Obama did a fundraiser at the Rubin Museum today, which is across the street from my office. I’ve never been one to really care much about anything political (honestly, I was hoping I’d see Ricky Martin — the host — over the president), but it was pretty cool to see it all unfold today.
The streets were blocked off, Secret Service everywhere, snipers up on the roof, cops every 25 feet, and we weren’t allowed to leave.
The motorcade before and after his vehicle was quite a sight to be seen. Obama waved to us as we watches them drive straight into a giant white tent before closing it off. It’s amazing how swift everyone moves (which is why I only have blurry shots).
I’d love to learn about the logistics behind something of this nature.
This was the car that President Obama arrived in. (I was hoping to just have this all in one post as a photo set, but I couldn’t get anything to upload properly. Boo)
What an interesting assortment of things you can get done at Blu Barber.
The Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, looking perfect as usual.
