An odd shaped building, a splash of color and a little graffiti.

Beach House & Tenant

This building is probably only fit for reptiles and rodents. I would have liked to have gone inside, but it is fenced off. It’s always a good sign when you see foliage growing out of the sides of a structure.

Vacancy

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.

Bricked-up door, vacant brick building and Old Glory waving in the wind in front of another brick structure. All shot in the Gowanus Canal area of Brooklyn.

The iconic Kentile Floors sign in the Gowanus Creek area, adjacent to the F train that is elevated from just after Carroll St. Station to 4th St. in Park Slope.

Gowanus Canal: Look#1

A section of the canal that runs between Park Slope and Carroll Gardens. The abandoned mill in the first image looks like it is listing to the left. I was able to find a couple more locations along the canal this trip that allowed me to get a fuller perspective on the whole canal. I still have one area to gain access to that is close to where the canal meets the East River. Maybe next trip. A few of the companies have their areas fenced off so it is difficult to access all parts of the canal.The canal looks fairly harmless in these images, but when you see some of the closeups it will be clear why this area is now a Super Fund Site. The stench coming off of the canal, this time, was almost unbearable. Had I known the smell was going to be this bad I would have brought a respirator with me. It’s a smell that is unique to the chemical mix of the water that you just don’t find anywhere else. This day was very overcast so the images are not as stark as the ones I will post in the future, which were taken on a clear, blue-sky day.

I think the warranty on this Toyota has expired.

Razor Wire and Graffiti

Adjacent to the 8th Ave. Park is a scrapyard that is protected by fencing, razor wire, guard dogs, cameras, etc. My bank should have this much security!

A postal-stamp sized park in South Park that few know about as it is mostly a light industrial area. Kayakers use it to launch themselves into the Duwamish River and then either travel the river itself or head out into Elliott Bay. This is the spot where I stalked a blue heron. I posted some of those photos last week.
