hanging tough








OK, I have surrendered to facebook and started not one, but two pages - one personal and one for my work - but I am darned if I am going to give up this blog.  Not too many people read it, I know, but those who do (hello family) sometimes enjoy it.  So here are a few pictures from today's trip out to the area of Brooklyn around the Gowanus Canal.  I haven't taken pictures in a while because my camera broke, but now I have a snazzy new one and I must say it came in very handy. As you can see, there are all sorts of interesting things to shoot out there - strange sculptures, lovely old buildings, water towers, wheels and the most idiosyncratic of all, a funky little store selling "items", wedged into the side of a vast parking lot.  The picture at the top gives some idea of how pretty the canal actually is.  And how coincidental is it that the color of the bridge crossing it is exactly the same as the color of the bridges crossing the Canal St Martin in an equally edgy and eccentric quartier in Paris?
