Better Than Real Because It's Not.

(May 25) The end of this journey and the return home.
I thought these were all gone.
I thought this was a very Memorial Day weekend shot
Still, and for the foreseeable future, the tallest building in Brooklyn
Yes indeed, the Gowanus are some dirty waters.

(May 25) Continuing down Bond St. peeking in on the Gowanus Canal.
More graffitti evolution
I was surprised to find this here.
Grass in the gardens

(May 25) I was planning on going into Manhattan, but it was already getting dark, and I made the decision to photograph around the Gowanus Canal instead, and I saved $4 which I sadly need.
Seeing animals in Superfund waters frightens me.
I want to chase the duck out of that poisonous water
There’s a lot riding on him now
This always reminds me of Billy for some reason
Down 1st. St.
Looking back toward home
I still don’t know what this place is
The early part of this jaunt covers material I’ve photographed before, and this is not the end. Yet.

(September 6) I had never been to Astroland in Coney Island, and on the day before it is apparently this this time for reals, closing, I decided to go get photos. In the rain. I thought there was something apropos about the remnants of a large storm blowing through at the end.
The Cyclone and the Wonder Wheel have landmark protection and will remain. Not sure how that’s going to work out.
Wonder Wheel
Down at the beach
Back on the boardwalk
I shared the boardwalk with maybe a half dozen other people.
This is probably where Tony_M went to play as a child.
Oddly enough, I ran into the architect of the US economy for the past 30 years. You’d have thought he had more important things to do right around now.
The rocket to somewhere, but not back to here.
The end is near.
As previously noted, the gift shop marks the end of the event.
And so thus ends our tour of of world famous Astroland on the Coney Island boardwalk.
Heading back to the subway, I passed what I think is the Nathan’s mothership
And their Countdown to Gluttony
Exit, Coney Island
Back out into the rain on Smith St.
I suppose the rain is good for something
This cone has known better days. I understand how it feels.
Somehow, really don’t think the Gowanus Canal has any chance of being non-toxic any time in the foreseeable future.

Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. This must mean it’s my annual trek to Kohl’s for the menswear sale.
Mural in the Bronx.
Twilight in the West Village.
The stuff new photoblog mastheads are made from.
Passing the toxic canal.
