Morning from Brooklyn Bridge Park
On a very blustery morning. Walking the Brooklyn Bridge Park this morning and took this shot of Manhattan across the East River.
Bridges
The Verrazano-Narrows (bottom), Brooklyn, Manhattan Bridges and the Queensboro Bridge (now Ed Koch Bridge) in the far background.
Brooklyn Bridge
View of Brooklyn Bridge from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. I think there was some maintenance going on last Fall when this photo was taken.
Floating Petri Dishes
A cruise on one of these will never be on my Bucket List*.
*photos were taken from inside the Ikea Taxi, through a very dirty, scratched plexiglas window.
Ikea Water Taxi
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.
Early Morning in DUMBO
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.
Artwork on Roosevelt Island
I think the artwork relates to the FDR Four Freedoms Memorial Park that is currently under construction on the southend of Roosevelt Island.
