I have a strange fascination with the Gowanus Canal which runs just east of here. I think it is beautiful. Sadly, it's also toxic.
The community has rallied on the canal's behalf and it is now on a long and slow journey to be restored.
I wandered there today to think. About a lot of things. There is a lot weighing heavily on my mind right now.
I left feeling hopeful. That what is broken, might be fixed.
I like that last picture. Cool
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteYou have such an excellent eye for composition. And your words always hit the mark. I hope someday you'll post photos of the 'after' canal.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan. :) It is because of this blog that I've started to take a greater interest in snapping photos. I hope to see the 'after' canal too. The clean-up is a massive project.
DeleteI like all the pictures, and the reflection one is particularly interesting. There can be a strange beauty in broken things. I hope this place provided the inspiration you were looking for.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found a peaceful, hopeful place to think -- that's so, so important. I've felt weighed down lately, too. Sending you hugs and warm thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThanks Meg. You're such a sweetheart. I hope we both feel a little lighter soon.
DeleteLove the photos! For some reason I actually really love graffiti, too, and that along with the reflections just are awesome. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteThanks Meradeth. I love the graffiti too :)
DeleteThings that are broken CAN be fixed, especially if people rally around to help :)
ReplyDeleteI think that's true Becca :)
