Yesterday after I worked the usual half day at work (my company works half days on Friday for people to prepare for Shabbat (or Shabbos, depending on your family's regional origins...)). I got home, but didn't really want to just hang around the apartment, I wanted to go outside.
I didn't have much of a goal in mind, so just went out to the subway and got on... Not long after I got on, though, the glass of orange juice and orange seltzer I drank sort of caught up with me, so I got off at Jay Street - MetroTech in Brooklyn to find a convenient public restroom...
In my wanders I ended up at the Brooklyn Bridge Park, down by the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges (where there was a decent public restroom...). I saw the middle section of the park, between the bridges, open for the first time since I got to New York City, and the new carousel was operating.
Unfortunately I'd only carried my 100-300mm lens for the SLR, so I had to use the iPhone for the sky photos... But I had some fun with the SLR, too, photographing people around the park. A few couples gave me their cameras for me to photograph them with the bridge and the Manhattan skyline behind them, and I always smilingly oblige...
Anyway, I wrote captions for all of them, but importing the photos from my web albums here doesn't bring those in automatically. You can see them all in my Picasa web album...
