Quaint: nyc | brooklyn to manhattan

brooklyn war memorial dedicated to americans who served in world war II.
this is actually two photos combined into one.

hello, hello! before attending a workshop in a part of brooklyn that was new to me, scott and i took a ride on the subway to make sure i knew where to go. afterwards, we saw signs for the brooklyn bridge and headed that way.

it was really cold to be walking anywhere let alone over the brooklyn bridge, but it's really cool (no pun intended) and was pretty crowded. it's about one mile in either direction.

i don't know how this artist was able to feel his hands let alone create a drawing.

another view of the bridge, which is really beautiful even on a gray day.

yes it does, just steps from city hall.

city hall park in manhattan.

greeted by the welcoming committee dressed in black, of course.

after that walk, the alternative methods of transportation were welcoming, but we opted for the subway and headed over to soho. as for today, it's snowing AGAIN so gray skies are not going to clear up, but i'll put on a happy face, anyway. snow is pretty. :)!

Cindy! I heard it's beyond cold in NY... Hope you stay warm. I too do dry runs before going somewhere- that made me smile, as did your awesome photos of the bridge!

Even though I've never seen it, I've always loved the Brooklyn Bridge - it is so beautiful

I like the shades of grey and the lines in your photos. I can't believe how dark the little squirrel is- I hope you don't get anymore snow. xo

WOW! Those photographs are outstanding!! You know how I like strong lines, so I guess it won't surprise you that my favorites are n°2 and n°4! Absolutely stunning!!

Brrrrrr is right! But what great perspectives on that bridge. And the skyline is great, too! Fantastic photos. I really love that Revolution Starts Here sticker.

Now. Go have some hot cocoa!

It looks like you had quite an adventure! It's funny when you go the Brooklyn bridge- and snap pictures- its so hard to take a bad picture. :)

Beautiful shots Cindy (and can I just say BRRR!) - I particularly love the 4th one down... the close-up of the bridge top with all it's intricacies and the flag. That's a favorite of mine :)

Stay warm!

one of my favorite things to do is walk across the BK bridge (although usually when it's a bit warmer out) - these photos are lovely!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment. We love every one of them!
