Back to Brooklyn, for a moment. This is The Old Stone House located in J.J. Byrne Park on 5th Ave. The park was recently renovated and attracts many Park Slope Parents and their children.

The last two times I have visited New York, B&H Photo in north Chelsea has been closed. The store was closed this time as well. One of these days……Probably just as well as I might have been tempted to procure something I may not really need. Most of my DSLR lens’s have come from B&H.

The recent flood waters came up to the first seat in the boat, which means that the water travelled west on this street reaching a depth of about 12″-18″. The Gowanus Canal itself is behind the guard rail and down about 6′-8′ during normal times. Between the high tide and tidal surge that hit on that fateful evening it was just too much for the canal to handle.

A vacant building near the Gowanus Canal (Brooklyn).

Downtown Brooklyn in the distance in the lower image, which has the canal in the foreground. All of this area flooded during Sandy.

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.
