A few iconic views from the Staten Island Ferry; Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty and Governors Island ( which was just purchased by the city of New York ).
Above, Skywatch Friday, railroad ties and what looks like a former homeless camp. I finished packing and had a couple hours to spare before our flight to NY/JFK so I thought I would post at least once more.
Looking back at lower Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge from the Staten Island Ferry. There was quite a crowd of people standing on the aft end of the ferry taking pictures. I thought I had a good spot to shoot from, but was soon overrun by camera-clutching tourists pushing me around as everyone jockeyed around for that ‘perfect spot’. A bit crazy, but riding the ferry is a good way to see lower Manhattan and the east channel, downtown Brooklyn, etc.
Dogs are not allowed on this beach, leashed or not. Some dog owners need to pay attention to the posted signs and perhaps even follow the instructions.
