Tugging

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.
