When I started this series, some months back, it was with an essay by Tanja St about her city Skopje, capital of Macedonia. The title of the series I took from a T.V series hosted by Edward R Murrow (which I learned about from the film "Good Night & Good Luck"). The basic point is to showcase great visuals about different parts of NYC and elsewhere in the world, thereby giving you a real sense of the place in question.
This month were taking you to Sheepshead bay sector of Brooklyn, along the water. The area is home to a large number of people from the east of Europe (Russia, Ukraine, Poland, with a fair amount of them being Jewish: Orthodox and secular). Along the harbor you'll find shops, a small "mall", excellent restaurants (a lot of seafood), boats of various sizes (some for rent, others you can go for a ride on and get away from the "hustle & bustle" of the area.).
If you would like to read more from the series, go to:www.studiophoenix.blogspot.com/2011/11/see-it-now-skopje-in-autumn-blues.html, or:www.studiophoenix.blogspot.com/2012/06/see-it-now-brooklyn.html. "Art is the reason, art is the way."
The harbor @ Emmons ave, Sheepshead bay sector Bklyn |
In its way the area is like a little foreign place within Bklyn, a strange, beautiful feel all its own. |
On this side of the harbor you can go for a bike ride (I rode my bike there from east 18th & Beverly road), & or go fishing. |
This is the bridge that separates both sides of the harbor. Biking across it is not allowed. If your lucky you might see the swans. |
