better left unsaid

I’ve had the for­tune to have had stayed in some pretty fancy, high-priced hotels in my time. I don’t like rat­ing these sorts of things, but per­haps top of the list is the Park Plaza, in New York City. It’s a spe­cial place, no doubt about it. The address is famous, the ser­vice is top-notch, and the facil­i­ties are world-class. I feel very lucky to have stayed there, in the heart of mid­town across the street from Cen­tral Park.

This was a cor­ner of the room, in the late evening just before bed. The light from the bed­side lamp was gen­tle, the room was quiet and it seemed like a moment to capture.
