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.
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.
A view of the F Train, I believe, at the 7th Ave. station in Brooklyn. Much like Alfred Hitchcock inserting himself into his movies, if for only a brief moment, I have captured myself ( Mr. Bluestar2012, formally speaking ) in one of these images. In the background is the irresistible palette of the graffiti artist, also known as a ‘building’. Photos were taken on a Sunday morning so that is why there is an obvious lack of commuters.
The sun peeking between the peaks of a couple of buildings. In the second image of the building there is a circular, bright, greenish spot that I could not eliminate. I don’t know what is causing the ‘spot’ and you really have to look to see it, but….??? there it is. Real or anamoly?
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 ).
This site was actually fenced off with a thick plastic tarp covering the fence. Someone had removed a small section of the tarp which allowed a minimal view. Probably more than Mr. Rubbish could handle, but one of the many ironies I saw walking around this area of the canal. The dumpster advert was adjacent to this ‘pond’.
