Meant to post this yesterday. Oooops.

Corner Meeting
Corner meeting on 7th Ave. in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
St. Paul’s Chapel
Many people have covered this church, across the street from Ground Zero. The church’s identity now seems connected, forever, to the events of Sept. 11, 2001. There is not much I can say other than walking the grounds and in the church can be a very moving, odd feeling.
Note: for those who know me, in the foreground with their backs to the camera are the ‘twins’ ( Lily and Ian, my companions for the day and more ).
Almost Duochrome
In Park Slope, even the three vehicles are similar in color to each other. {Sorry, I have forgotten the actual street this image was taken on }.
Skull and Bones
In reference to the previous post I thought I would post this image of the Skull and Bones Building in New Haven, Ct. In contrast to the Montauk Club Building this one is plain bordering on austere. As I walked along the sidewalk looking at as much of the building as I could I did find some nice purple berries so all was not lost. Creepy index was very high for me. I think this building was designed to hide something.

The Montauk Club
The Montauk Club in Park Slope, Brooklyn. I loved the look of the columns. The spindle-effect that you see on the corner column is amazing. I wish I knew the actual architectural names of all of the features found on this building.
John Kennedy and his brother, Robert, were members of the Montauk Club as were a few other presidents in the distant past. I guess this was a gathering place for the movers and shakers of those times in the past. Not sure what role the club plays today. Hopefully nothing sinister is going on here. I’ve walked around both the Skull and Bones building in New Haven, Ct. and this building and the Skull and Bones building is much more creepy feeling, if the ‘creepy’ index of a place can be an indicator.
The Hawk
On the Celebrity Path in the Botanic Garden in Brooklyn, Connie Hawkins, aka The Hawk.
Photo Finish
Fifth Ave. in Park Slope. What Park Slope is famous for- lots of strollers and other toddler moving devices. Even with expansive sidewalks, there is a battle between pedestrians with strollers and those without for every square foot.
