Bamboo and Palm trees in the NW. With all of the rain and cold weather we have 9 months a year it surprises me plants like this survive and thrive. A couple of years ago during an ice storm these bamboo plants were literally laying in the street covered with snow and ice. After the ice melted they sprung back to their original shape.

The Montauk Club

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.
