More vegetation in odd places,, broken windows and signage. Apparently King County Solid Waste Management Division is the current owner. On my to-do list is to find a contact inside the organization to field some of my questions.

Camera that could be operational. Space between buildings and vegetation that seems to grow in the oddest of places.

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

DSC_8122-001 Spent some time walking around the LES gazing at the architectural elements that stand out. I thought the admission price for the Tenement Museum was outside of my budget so this is as close as I got.

Vespa Trio

My ‘all things Italian design’ obsession continued in Dumbo where I spotted a trio of Vespas this particular morning. Oh, I do love the cobblestone streets, too!

Faded Ad-Dumbo

The sun sliced a wedge-shaped piece out of this old, brick building in Dumbo. In the past couple of years I have shared of few of my NW Fading Ad images with Frank Jump. Since this one was in his neighborhood I thought he might have already published a copy. I love the cast iron window shutters. I’m not sure, but I don’t think there used to be glass windows behind them. Might be retrofitted with glass panes now, though. Also, (if you click to enlarge) note the star-shaped detail every few feet. It’s possible that attached to the back of the star is a long, iron bar that is used for stability in older brick buildings such as this.
