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.

Mid-Town Manhattan on a Saturday afternoon. A fair or something has attracted this large number of people.

Not really an iconic view of this most famous tourist spot. It has been nearly four years since I took this photo and I always cringe a little every time I look at and think about the woman staring back at me; I feel like I got busted or something. Of all of the people moving about this space, she was the only one ( and the closest to me ) who spotted me and what I was doing. I should have asked her if she minded being in the photo, but….In profile, she looks much like someone I worked with many years ago. So, on a couple of levels this image has some weird mojo attached to it. I would really like to think she is a spy posing as a tourist, but that could be just my imagination working overtime.

Many people have covered this church, across the street from Ground Zero. The church’s identity now seems connected, forever, to the events of Sept. 11, 2001. There is not much I can say other than walking the grounds and in the church can be a very moving, odd feeling.

Note: for those who know me, in the foreground with their backs to the camera are the ‘twins’ ( Lily and Ian, my companions for the day and more ).

From the bottom up: Ground Zero construction, Empire State Bldg. upward and in the distance, the Brooklyn Bridge. I don’t recall the street I was shooting, but it did seem like a nice perspective of the bridge, etc. The middle image could qualify as a “Skywatch Friday” image.
