A Fall from High Rock Park

November 13, 2011

New York, Photoblogs

No hurry, one tick, two salamanders, three people, four cameras. It was just another day on Staten Island. High Rock Park had put on a warm autumn robe of exclusive yellows. So starved for reds, we stopped at a strange pizzeria on our way back, reincarnation of a Brooklyn joint fallen from grace. I’m sure Marie will post about that.

reply Stunning - brought back lovely memories of two years ago of our happy trip into the "country" Hard to believe that this is two blocks from home.

reply Yes, two blocks from home might be a little bit of an understatement. You probably remember the big orange ferry we caught from the Lower Manhattan, cruising past the Statue of Liberty to a terminal where we just spun around, got back in line and boarded again. That was Staten Island. :-)

reply Oh no, Hen, this is not two blocks from home - this is many, many blocks and a body of water from home, on Staten Island!

reply Hi Vince I've just been to an Ecotourism conference in Sydney, and one of the speakers (Kyle Kimball, NYEDC), gave a fabulous presentation about park developments he works on in your city, including an island which I think may have been this one (or maybe another), and an elevated walkway that looked fascinating.Great photos as always, cheers, Robert.

reply Sounds Like the High Line and perhaps Fresh Kills, which is on Staten Island - the largest humanmade dump in the world, now transformed into wetlands and park.
