Another weekend, another beach

Summer in the city means finding ways to get out the city? It often seems so. Once again, jumped at the opportunity to exchange, however briefly, the sounds of cars outside my window for that of waves at my feet. This time, Jones Beach: one of those places New Yorkers always talk about in wistful tones, and now I know why. Let’s hope the “Trump-isation” of the boardwalk won’t ruin the harmony of its historic art deco style, and the quiet landscapes just steps away from the crowds. The promo is a little scary.

Just take a look, add fresh air, a zest of sun, and breaking waves:

The birds (the Brighton Beach sequel)

I ended up at the beach today – how unoriginal. Yet those two guys did their best to make it something of a different moment. Guy Number One, on fold-up stool, takes photos of the seagulls. Guy Number Two (has to be Two, as he is obviously the faithful assistant) bribes the seagulls. And sunbathers predictably bitch.
