This building happens to be owned by the MTA itself, and long ago became a symbol of the agency’s FAIL syndrome.

Another thinking tour. My return to the Brooklyn Bridge. Didn’t come up with any good ideas.

This journey began in Chinatown, on Canal St.

Brooklyn. The Bridge.

I wandered back down Smith St., past this illusion

And then along Carroll, back to pseudoreal headquarters.

I needed to try and come up with some ideas, so last week I went bridge-walking. I ended up walking off at the end of the bridge and all the way home. Only generated one interesting idea.
![what else would you call it? what else would you call it?](https://pseudoreal.com/gallery/d/20279-2/DSC06569.JPG)
The journey this time, started on the Manhattan side.
![the view from above the view from above](https://pseudoreal.com/gallery/d/20285-2/DSC06570.JPG)
I find the parts of the bridge over land are actually more interesting views.
![manhattan bridge footpath manhattan bridge footpath](https://pseudoreal.com/gallery/d/20295-2/DSC06572.JPG)
The one thing you don’t get a good view of from the bridge, is the bridge.

I like how the light reflects off the water here.

The bridge portion of his trip “officially” ended not at the gift shop, but at (the outside of) Junior’s.

(August 16) Yes, I am still posting about August 16th. (I finally remembered to tag the DUMBO photos though) The day that started out as a small trip to DUMBO to snap a few photos of the Revs sculpture before it is stolen into the private market, didn’t end with me walking back from the mural and heading straight to the York St. Station. Upon seeing one of the Manhattan “waterfalls”, I decided to go visit the trees that are being killed by the Brooklyn Bridge “waterfall”.
![photographer photographer](https://pseudoreal.com/gallery/d/13712-2/DSC03818s.JPG)
As it turned out, the place was full of photographers
![underbridge underbridge](https://pseudoreal.com/gallery/d/13717-2/DSC03819.JPG)
Under the Brooklyn Bridge, on the shores of the East River,
you’ll find Brooklyn Bridge Park
![waves waves](https://pseudoreal.com/gallery/d/13727-2/DSC03831.JPG)
Lots of people were sitting around here listening to the waves
![cylinders cylinders](https://pseudoreal.com/gallery/d/13732-2/DSC03833.JPG)
The park is presently full of artwork that has a “recycled feel” to it
![gears and things gears and things](https://pseudoreal.com/gallery/d/13740-2/DSC03842.JPG)

![manhattan bridge manhattan bridge](https://pseudoreal.com/gallery/d/13775-2/DSC03851.JPG)
There’s lots of great views of the Manhattan Bridge here
![parkgoers on grass parkgoers on grass](https://pseudoreal.com/gallery/d/13781-2/DSC03852.JPG)
It seems to be a popular destination and hangout
![sunset brooklyn bridge sunset brooklyn bridge](https://pseudoreal.com/gallery/d/13786-2/DSC03854.JPG)
There’s also a lot of good views of the Brooklyn Bridge

![wedding under the manhattan bridge wedding under the manhattan bridge](https://pseudoreal.com/gallery/d/13808-2/DSC03873.JPG)
As I would later find out, this seems to be the place to have weddings

Finally, I reached my destination, the trees being poisoned
by the spray from the “waterfall”
!["waterfall", killer of trees "waterfall", killer of trees](https://pseudoreal.com/gallery/d/13859-2/DSC03896.JPG)
And there’s the tree killer, caught in the act

This ends my story about August 16th. I just realized I forgot to post my trip to Prospect Park in July. I guess that’s coming next.
