WARREN, CONNECTICUT – Another gray, rainy day.  But at the end of the day something amazing happened.  Just as the sun set it briefly broke through the clouds.  It was as if the landscape had been bathed in a red spotlight – one of those “It’s remarkable to be alive” moments.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Congregation Shaaray Tefila (Hebrew for Gates of Prayer) at Second Avenue and 79th Street.   The current sanctuary of this congregation, which was organized in 1859, was dedicated in 1959.  It was converted from a Trans-Lux movie theater.  I’ve taken the liberty of posting the image twice – once in color and once in gray scale.
