We had weeks when it was below normal and now we are having some freaky warm days. It’s sort of nice, but it makes one suspicious, too. I, for one, am not ready to dress like it’s summer.

Under the bridge

This is the Manhattan Bridge; I turned left at the water and walked toward the Brooklyn Bridge. The tall building is the new World Trade Center, with antenna on top. I didn’t linger in the park too long. To my surprise (not… not again!), the sun was setting early.
View from the Promenade

It’s surreal: the nearly-set sun is brighter than the lights of lower Manhattan. Is this a once-in-a-lifetime event? There are so many questions. Hopefully power will be restored soon.
Self-sufficient tourists

Tourists awkwardly take their own group pictures with the iphone. They don’t want to ask a stranger to assist and have unknown fingers touching the equipment.
Don’t flick your butts

When I saw this sign I thought it was something new, then I noticed it was sponsored by the MEA, the Metropolitan Etiquette Authority. Even if they can’t give you a $50 ticket, think before you flick that butt!
A new skyline

Bloomberg is right; we should stop calling it Ground Zero. Is there another official name for the area yet? Next year there will be a new, tall WTC looming over the other downtown buildings.
It looked bigger in person

New York has been on a heightened state of alert. A patrol boat like this, from the NYC Fire Department, is not an unusual site, though in the vast river, with Manhattan in the background, it looks so tiny.
Friends @ Brooklyn Bridge Park

Brooklyn Bridge Park expands every season; work continues on this grand waterfront project. Not far from where this picture was taken there’s a new grassy slope with views of the harbor and lower Manhattan.
Work on Brooklyn Bridge Park

Brooklyn Bridge Park is slowly taking shape. A new segment adjacent to Fulton Ferry Landing opened a week ago. Here, you can see what they are working on; eventually the park will stretch all the way down to the multi-storied rectangular building to the right of the picture.
Brooklyn Heights from Governors Island

Brooklyn looks low and humble from the ferry terminal at Governors Island. One Brooklyn Bridge Park, the behemoth gray industrial building turned condo, dominates the view (off-center, to the right). Eventually, a multi-acre park is supposed to cover the waterfront area between Brooklyn Bridge and these condos. It will be grand; but for now we have to exercise patience. Completion is years away.
