After the Storm on Friday

Thanks to kittylittered (who has a fantastic photoblog - New York Portraits) on flickr for uploading this to the Best View in Brooklyn photo pool. The sky was amazing. So were the itsy bitsy pieces of hail that fell from the heavens.

This is from the new photo pool for Best View in Brooklyn. Join up and add your Sunset Park photos! This photo comes from veesvision, who has offered up several fantastic photographs in the past.

She says, "I have lived in Sunset Park for many years. This bumper sticker has always been there. (7th ave btw 46 & 47 st) I shot it because it might not be there the next time I walk past it."

Where can we get these bumper stickers? CafePress?

Join the Photo Pool for BViB

There have been so many amazing photographs on flickr from around Sunset Park lately that I thought this was a good idea:

See things around the neighborhood that deserve some attention? Have photos that show what Sunset Park is all about? Love to observe and record the quirky things that go on around the neighborhood? We want it all, the beauty and the beastly (oh yes, dogs too!). So, please join the Best View in Brooklyn flickr Photo Pool and add your photographs.

Any and all photographs that end up posted on Best View in Brooklyn will receive full attribution (as full as the photographer wishes). I'm not one to steal credit from another.

When adding photos, please include when, where, and even why the photograph was taken so that we can all fully enjoy your observation.

Thanks!

If only this were Sunset's Red Light District. This is a gorgeous photo from jen (pluie latéralement)'s photo stream on Flickr. It actually makes those silver gates look really good. Thanks to Jen for letting me use the photo!

Something for Everyone in the Window

This store window encourages some lingering, no matter how cold the weather might be. Thanks to sarahheiman for sharing her flickr photos.

This photo from flickr.com was taken by f.trainer on 3rd Avenue in the mid-thirties. The detail on f.trainer's entry shows various names, titles, and seemingly random words. Click on the image to see it. Pretty cool.
