(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”.

Under the Brooklyn Bridge, on the shores of the East River,
you’ll find Brooklyn Bridge Park

Lots of people were sitting around here listening to the waves

The park is presently full of artwork that has a “recycled feel” to it

gears and things

There’s lots of great views of the Manhattan Bridge here

by the spray from the “waterfall”

This thing (“(untitled)”) reminds me of candy dishes for some reason

That green dot is me, the dark spot is “(untitled)” above.

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.

They’re tearing the street up, it’s going to be closed for two years. I suppose by government standards, that’s pretty snappy.

Scary-looking infrastructure.

There are a lot of mosaics underground, many are very themed and elaborate.
