Fleeting light

If in New York, go to Brooklyn at least once, if for no other reason than to look back at Manhattan. But do go for another reason. It’s worth it! Great places to eat, some accessible urban decay, the New York Transit Museum … and there’s a great little ice cream shop not far from where I was standing, near the ferry landing, to take this photo.
This view was snapped a year ago, at dusk.

Hints of rust

A wonderfully imperfect picket fence.

Intertwined

I was struck by the random “melding” of natural and artificial.
