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 Great Pollinator
We found this bee pollinating a random squash-type of plant that was growing along the edge of Shore Road Park in Brooklyn, NY.
Right after we snapped this pic the bee that had originally caught our eyes and had been on this bloom came back and stung this one. A small aerial fight ensued and this bee came back to the bloom. Anarchy in the urban wildlife…TOTAL COOLNESS!!!
Free Creepy Apples
We found this tin containing two apples on a bench in Brooklyn’s Shore Road Park.
There was a sign attached to the tin that read, “Please take they are from a garden.”
Several things ran through our mind. Who took and ate the other apples that were most likely in that tin? Did someone ever think that apples didn’t come from a garden of some sort? Like, did they think that apples came out of the engines of 60s muscle cars or something?
Lastly, who would be eccentric enough to think that leaving a tin full of apples in a park in the middle of Brooklyn with a sign saying “free” would be a good thing, and apparently have it all work out? Certainly not us…
