I’m not sure what to make of this piece of ‘art’?

DSC_8015-001 Reinventing itself, DUMBO has now become a destination as well as a trendy place to live. With the new Brooklyn Bridge Park along the East River it really makes this area very attractive. The views of Manhattan are wonderful from this vantage point.

Thought I would end the year with a couple of images from Van Brunt St. in Red Hook ( Brooklyn). This area was hard hit by Sandy. These images were taken a few blocks from the waterfront so maybe they survived. Taken 10 days prior to super storm Sandy. DSC_8405-001

East Side, Northward

This is from the Roosevelt Island Tram as it nears the Manhattan Island station. I don’t recall the exact ave. (E. 60th St.), but this view is looking northward on the East Side. I carry a small digital voice recorder with me, but I tend to use it to remind myself of general geographical areas that I have shot in during the course of a day. I probably should consider using it for the details as well.

Due to illness I didn’t post for a couple of the worst days. Seem to be doing better now.

I thought I would post a view of a steeple* and another rooftop that looks much like a steeple. I don’t think I would want to be the person who re-roofs the secular steeple.

*Note: Composition 101: Avoid light poles, in the frame, while shooting steeples :-).

Radio City Music Hall and Simon and Schuster. Our son works for Simon and Schuster, on the 17th floor. I took a few photos out the window of his office that I will post soon.
