Peeling paint, rusting pipes and just the odd rip rap left behind.

Inside the Fisher Flour Site

The floor boards were so spongy I had to walk on the planks. When I posted this image on Flickr I referred to it as a “creepy corridor”.

The abandoned Fisher Flour Mill on Harbor Island in Seattle. This time I went inside the compound ( I think it is called trespassing ) so will be posting some images caught during that visit.

If you can afford it, copper is a nice touch that ages well.

Green-Wood Cemetery: Skylights for the Dead

On April 20, 2013 By Fred KingIn Architecture, Brooklyn, buildings, New York, Nikon D7000, Thoughts1 Comment

At the top of a hill in the cemetery there are rows of these Skylights for the crypts below. I’m not sure the dead are appreciating the extra light they are receiving, but……as with all burial places, they are probably more for the living than the deceased. I just found these rows of skylights fascinating and even peered down into the one with the broken glass. Design-wise I am not sure what period these skylights were placed there. Guessing early 20th Century…. but????? Green-Wood should be on everyone’s Bucket List.

Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn

If a cemetery can be a destination place to visit, then Green-Wood should be on everyone’s list. Many crypts are built into hillsides, the architecture of the entranceway is Gothic and very detailed; it seems to change colors with the changing light of day. From a distance it almost has a Disneyland-esque sensibility. Many of the wealthiest of New York are buried here as well as historical figures.

Here are some views of the salon after some of my images were hung this morning. The location of the salon is 514 East Republican, on Capitol Hill. The listed address online, etc is incorrect. 514 is the correct street number. I’ve been given a two month run.

Art Deco, pink fire escape and old stone sidewalks. One of my favorite places to walk in Brooklyn.

Ikea Water Taxi

The Ikea Water Taxi runs from the pier adjacent to the Ikea store in Red Hook to the old Fulton Fish Market Pier on the east side of Manhattan ( Pier 11 ). The views from the taxi are incredible as you cross the East River.
