A springtime walk along Library Way, located on East 41st Street from Park Av to 5th Av, where stands the New York Public Library. The photos were taken during the first sunny day or so of spring. Everyone was out for their lunch hour. There was a mass of people, and there was scaffolding all along the buildings so there was little room to walk, let alone stop to take photos. The beginning is a little blurry until I got fed up with people rushing and nearly stepping all over me, then I had to wait until their shadows passed over me, kick cigarette butts and papers off the plaques and other garbage, as well as get the street vendors out of the way. Fun. To top it off, I was taking the photos with my iPhone and I thought it would be a simple matter to email them to myself, like you see on TV, but noooo. Sometimes fast, sometimes a long wait. Then I had to Save As. Sooo.. to make a long story longer -- the front of the library was having something done to it and it looked ugly so I took a photo of the side of the building. :( Telling you about Debussy is easier. I can quote from WikipediA: 'Beginning in the 1890s, Debussy developed his own musical language largely independent of Wagner's style, colored in part from the dreamy, sometimes morbid romanticism of the Symbolist Movement. Debussy became a frequent participant at Stéphane Mallarmé Symbolist gatherings, where Wagnerism dominated the discussion. In contrast to the enormous works of Wagner and other late-romantic composers, however, around this time Debussy chose to write in smaller, more accessible forms. The Suite bergamasque (1890) recalls rococo decorousness with a modern cynicism and puzzlement. This suite contains one of Debussy's most popular pieces, Clair de Lune.'
