Dumbo

It was a beautiful day. Rather than brave the ridiculously screwed-up subway to go to Manhattan, I chose to stay in Brooklyn all day. Y and I went to the park in Dumbo.



There is so much construction going on there. Just a few years ago it was desolate and only a few intrepid artists lived there. Now it is quite yuppified and a bit slick.



But remnants of the old remain. They provide a bit of "edge" so the yuppies in their million-dollar lofts can feel like they haven't lost theirs.



There was a wedding party taking photos at the little beach-type area here. They looked like they were having fun.
