Up High

Up high in the sky...Brooklyn Bridge as the sun breaks through the clouds...I am enthralled with the bridge and the engineering phenom of this bridge. For me the old lanterns add to the mood of this fabulous old bridge. As I walk the bridge, I feel that the men who built this are there with me, marveling their creation.....look to to the skies for its worthiness...a marvel of the 19th century.

Sunset Over Manhattan Skyline

Standing over some old pilings in the East River and enjoying the sunset over the Manhattan skyline. A beautiful end to a wonderful brisk cold day in NYC. I loved how the sky colors mirrored the grasses and trees in hues. Serenity...as long as you don't get too close into the city's hubbub!

Window View

Outside my tiny balcony in Brooklyn, I had an open, unobstructed view of some other apartments. My balcony literally was in a total open, no roof type place and I liked the openness in the crowded city. I imagined the inhabitants of this apartment were keeping warm during the snow showers when I shot this image.. I liked the light shining through the one window.

Jane's Carousel

Jane's Carousel is located on the East River in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The carousel was originally created in 1922 and is on the Historic Preservation list. It's a classic carousel encased by glass so you can see the Manhattan skyline while riding the carousel. The ride's movement to me is the essence of the carousel and I wanted to capture that.

Liberty at Sunset

Cold winter night but always a beautiful sunset to watch "The Lady" as the sun sets behind her. A small cruise ship passes by in the harbor and all is quiet. A daily reminder of our freedoms and our good fortune to live in the USA...

Not Forgotten

Every year seeds are planted, flowers bloom and then they die. While the blooms mostly go to seed, the leaves of the plants are left behind to slowly decay and rot. That's when I find the leaves most interesting to photograph as the dried leaves have wonderful patterns and veins. To me the leaves are a reminder that while winter is here, the blooms will not be forgotten and spring will come and the cycle will start anew.

Brooklyn Bridge

On a cold and dreary day, I walked the Brooklyn Bridge...something that everyone should do if they get the chance when they visit NYC. It's truly an amazing engineering feat considering the fact that it was done in the 1800's circa 1875-1880. And it's still in tact!!! I was truly mesmerized by the cables, the boardwalk, the arched supports and the view. A Must See...
