View of Brooklyn Bridge from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. I think there was some maintenance going on last Fall when this photo was taken.

A cruise on one of these will never be on my Bucket List*.

The Ikea Water Taxi runs from the pier adjacent to the Ikea store in Red Hook to the old Fulton Fish Market Pier on the east side of Manhattan ( Pier 11 ). The views from the taxi are incredible as you cross the East River.

East River Morning

The East River is busy with commerce, even early in the morning. Large housing projects, probably a legacy of Robert Moses. DSC_8032-001 DSC_8038-001

Early Morning in DUMBO

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.

DSC_7864-001 DSC_7867-001 DSC_7871-001 I think the artwork relates to the FDR Four Freedoms Memorial Park that is currently under construction on the southend of Roosevelt Island.

Some images taken on the Roosevelt Island Tram, looking northward through the glass of the tram. Above the East River you see Roosevelt Island on the right side and Midtown Manhattan on the left. It was a fun ride and if you have a valid Metro Card that is all you need. DSC_7888-001 DSC_7887-001

A seagull was one of the few signs of life I encountered along the promenade this particular morning. A view of the underside of the Ed Koch Bridge, looking west towards Manhattan. DSC_7834-001 DSC_7830-001

The yellow-checkerboard building is interesting. These views are from Brooklyn Heights.

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.
