Dead Horse Bay

Went to Dead Horse Bay to check out the washed up bottles. We arrived at low tide and the whole beach was strewn with tons of old bottles and shards of glass. I couldn't believe how many bottles had washed up on shore and continue to do so. The bottles are the result of a breach in the land fill caused by a hurricane. I'm sure hurricane Irene and hurricane Sandy did a good job of stirring up more bottles and junk and depositing it on the shore. We spend a good chunk of the day combing the beach for our favorite bottles.

Coney from Above

Arial shot of coney island just before landing at JFK. I never realized how much Surf Ave curves around the whole area. 

Manhattan Goes Dark

Dustin and I took a walk down to the promenade to check out the dark Manhattan skyline. There were a few random lights on and a few floodlights that were lighting up the buildings but other than that it was completely black. I should go back when the power comes back on for some comparison shots. I forgot what the skyline looks like all lit up. 

Spotlights from road crews illuminated the buildings making them seem even more monolithic. 

Mayor Bloomberg was checking out the damage in DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights. My camera died right before he jumped back into the helicopter. I was so pissed.
