I just returned from a six day trip to New York City. We jam packed those days with touring the city, but it felt like you could spend years going at the rate we did and never come close to experiencing everything that city has to offer. Every time we came up out of a subway station it felt like we were entering a new city, or even country. Luckily before I left I purchased a 16GB memory card, because I almost filled the entire thing (almost 600 photos). So I'm going to post photos in the same manner I am editing them, one day at a time. So, we "took it easy" on the first day by exploring Williamsburg. The reason I used quotation marks is that we walked a lot. I wish we had had one of those GPS run tracker thingies, so that we could know just how much distance we covered over the course of the trip, because it would probably be astounding. Anyway, here are some shots from Saturday August 23rd, Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Behind this fence was a community garden complete with mini golf and a small dirt bike track.
I believe these two were painted by Brazilian duo Os Gemeos, or "the twins."
A dramatic sky provided an interesting view of Manhattan. The main bridge pictured here is the Williamsburg Bridge with the Manhattan Bridge visible behind it. The red brick buildings prominent on the shoreline are part of what is known as Alphabet City.
A mural painted by Haculla.
This is by Iranian stencil art duo Icy and Sot.
A mural by R. Robots.
The portrait on this building was shot by 17 year old Steven Paul, winner of the 2014 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, which he titled Lost Time.
One last mural, this one by Mike Makatron Maka.
