Looking down a side street in BH you can see Manhattan in the distance. Brick homes and buildings mixed with early wooden homes on tree-lined streets.

Details surrounding the entrance and balcony of a home in Brooklyn Heights. Tour guide ‘Homer’ reading from his script.

Some of the details above the entrance to the BHS, which is located in Brooklyn Heights. One of the first ‘suburbs’ of Manhattan, Brooklyn Heights is just across the East River from mid-town Manhattan. Was also the first settled area (in modern times) of Brooklyn, for same reason. Might be an early example of money fleeing the grit and grime of the city.

St. Ann and Holy Trinity Church

The church is located in Brooklyn Heights. Went on a walking tour of Brooklyn Heights that was fun and informative. Homer Fink ( the tour-name of our guide ). Brooklyn Heights has been the home for such writers as Arthur Miller and Truman Capote as well as many other historical figures over the years. Very picturesque neighborhood in Brooklyn. This church has no steeple. Apparently, in the past, it was in need of repairing or replacing and it was decided to just take it down and not replace.

A few weeks ago I had this encounter with a heron on the Duwamish River. They seem to be very wary of people so I was hiding behind some tall grasses up from the river bank.

Snake handlers at the Pike Place Market. Of course, even the tattoo relates to their passion or …..whatever it may be called. Pretty sure I would pass on the chance to hold one of these guys.
