Tugging

Description


---
This was shot Wednesday from Brooklyn Bridge Park. On the East River, the beautiful tugboat is hauling a huge barge under the bridge.
---
My next-door neighbors in Yardley also keep a third-floor apartment in Brooklyn Heights, about three buildings from the river Promenade, from which can be seen the Statue of Liberty, the Lower New York skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Empire State Building. I spent a great day with them in the city.

Brooklyn Heights ( The Patty Duke Show )
Quite the NICE AREA NOW. MEMORIES of growing up in Brooklyn flood back, not the heights , Flatbush !!! ANYWAY

GREAT SHOOTING !!! Knowing your fascination with the URBAN Jungle so I'm sure we are in store for some INTERESTING shots of the CITY.
