More from Gowanus

Directly ahead on this sidewalk is the canal. Not a very inviting place. At about this point is where one picks up the scent of the canal. I think this sign is a Parks Dept. sign. Not sure if this sign just ended up here or that this SuperFund site is pretending to be a park.DSC_7718-001DSC_7725-001

View from The High Line: #9

Not all concrete, brick and glass: Manhattan does have some greenery. A glimpse of the ‘New Yorker‘ sign as well as a peek at the space between the buildings, which I find fascinating. I think I ran across a photography book this past year that was actually entitled: The Spaces Between, or something to that effect. All of the images were something like this one below, only taking the idea to a much wider subject focus.

Kaos and more from the Interurban

The rollerblader reminded me of a song by Dire Straits, with a title something like “Skateaway”. Seeing all of those bucket lifts in one place reminded me of the herding instinct. I guess it makes good advertising sense to leave them in a position that can be seen from a distance.

The Interurban

A section of the Interurban Trail, not as scenic as the Green River Trail, that is straight and flat. A large portion of the Green River Trail is closed due to flood abatement efforts. The trail has turned into a six foot wall of sandbags covered in black plastic.
