Red Hook is usually more scenic

The big box store is not to blame for the view. In fact, Ikea hasn’t been a horror for the neighborhood. They’ve added park land, benches, and tables where there wasn’t any before. Tugs and other boats chug around just offshore, but the old ship yards lack the photogeneity of the part of Red Hook just around the bend, where Coffey Street Pier is.

This is the best I came up with that day, though it’s a little corny the way the equipment intersects with the sun, as if I’m trying to make a statement. (Really, I’m not.)
