It is so cold here in New York City today that our wife caught the fountain at Bryant Park frozen.
So much for having the usual January thaw…
Owl’s Head Park Renovated
We strolled through Brooklyn’s Owl’s Head Park recently and noticed that the Parks Department has finally completed the renovations of the patio on top of the park’s moraine.
Though the patio looks really nice, it still doesn’t offer much of a view…
Nothing says wonderful view of Manhattan’s skyline or the Verrazano Bridge (or even the Owl’s Head Poop Plant) like a thicket of overgrown trees and shrubbery obscuring any and all view from the park’s moraine.
Brooklyn Oil Drum
What should one do when they come across an old, rusted out, and empty oil drum? Use it for photography, of course!
Now that’s what we call seeing Brooklyn through the eyes of a barrel of oil.
Plaque Goes Missing In Bay Ridge
We’re not sure what happened at Brooklyn’s Shore Road Park at 75th Street, but there is clearly a plaque that is missing from this scene.
There’s a flagpole, a cut piece of stone, and no plaque attached to it. The stone is so smooth that it doesn’t even look as though a plaque was ever attached to it.
So, if you see a plague with a random dedication on it laying out and about, call 311, eh?
The Day After
Last year one section of Shore Road Park looked lush and green like this.
With winter having pounded the area all season long, this is the scene now.
While the trees and the weeds are waiting to blossom, it looks like the day after.
