A Brooklyn Walk.

Walks with S is one of my most favorite things to do . . . especially in the spring, but more so in the summer. In early April, S and I went for a rather long walk all through Williamsburg, and ended up in the Lower East Side by way of the Brooklyn Bridge. I've been lazy, and I haven't posted these yet.

The walk started down by Williamsburg waterfront . . . it was a very bohemian scene with random groups of people just doing their own thing. The Williamsburg Bridge is far off in the distance.


These three people were all from separate groups somewhere off camera, yet they all sort of got close to the water, and to one another, forming their own little group of sorts, but all still very much in their own worlds.


The Empire State Building just looked so strangely out of place. It must have been interesting to be standing on this shore watching the building go up in the 1930s . . .


From the waterfront, we walked down to some shops. As S went into some, I stayed outside and noticed a group of people just hanging out on a rooftop.


As we crossed the bridge and headed into Manhattan, we saw a girl walking the opposite way towards Brooklyn with a tremendous bunch of balloons. We weren't the only ones who found the scene interesting. Notice the guy on the bike who had to turn around and take another look . . .
