The Cedar River, in Maple Valley, WA, bends and twists its way around marshes with dragonflies.

Taken this Fall in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. The leaves were just beginning to turn colors. I had to walk for some time to discover this tree.

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.

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.

Arriving at The High Line

One more shot of the Empire State Building, then, as I mentioned in the previous post, I will visit The High Line, which has become the biggest draw for tourist visiting Manhattan. The morning I made the walk it was grey and not too crowded. Actually, most of the tourists seemed to be speaking either French or some Asian language. I think there must have been a French tourist group that were

bussed there that morning. Rather than me attempting to explain what The High Line is and how it came about I hope you take a minute to check this link if you are not familiar with the project, which is still ongoing.

Empire State Encounter

I was walking towards Chelsea to find The Highline this particular morning. I was quite a ways from the Empire State Building, camera on my shoulder when, waiting for the pedestrian signal to change, an elderly woman standing next to me struck up a conversation. As we talked she noticed my camera and pack and insisted I walk back a block where there was a great place to view and shoot the Empire State Building. She was very insistent I see this particular spot so we walked and talked until we came upon the spot you see in the photo with the partial tree. I think her point was that shooting the building with a tree in the foreground would give a softer or less harsh glimpse of Manhattan; New York was more than steel, glass and cement. So, that is the story of the shot with the tree in it. She placed me right in a spot on the sidewalk that would catch the view she enjoyed sharing.

Reference Nov. 4th Posting

Here is a similar image, totally unedited/cropped, to the posted “mystery image” of Nov. 4th. The colors on the bubble are a little more vibrant in this image, but also the background is more diverse and I was looking for a nearly monochromatic background. Anyway, mystery solved and I thank all of you for playing along with me for a couple of days!

Brooklyn Heights: Look#4

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.
