...find some trees and shelter.
So I headed for The Cloisters - this is part of The Metropolitan Museum located further north and set in Fort Tryon Park - beautiful big trees - and this is just the subway station.
Then a 10 minute wander
with a lookout over the Hudson River
local wildlife
and then The Cloisters...
It was purpose built to house medieval arts - this is the cafe !
and more courtyards
Beautiful windows
Joab murdering Abner... nice
playing cards
and tapestries - the most known are the Unicorn ones
and various styles of icons.
This one below is stunning - I had studied it when doing an essay at Art School.
The detail is amazing
I thought the wings were interesting in the way they were attached to the angel's body
