"Mr. Bloomberg -- who persuaded the City Council to amend a
law that would have restricted him to two terms and then
spent some $90 million of his personal fortune on his
campaign -- decisively defeated Comptroller William C.
Thompson Jr., his Democratic rival."

It's always amazing to watch the runners heading through
this part of Brooklyn.

One of the things I like about the Brooklyn Heights Promenade are the
overhead views of the roads. Furman Street is the bottom layer of
infrastructure, under the BQE.

During a visit to Buffalo this weekend, I got to see the Bulls take down the Zips 21-17. This was my first time at a real American Football game and I was impressed by the sheer number of people involved in each team. The dry ice clouds as the team burst out the tunnel was a nice touch.

During a walk around Coney Island Creek last night looking for semi-submerged subjects,
the sun burst under a cloud and caught me traipsing through the undergrowth.

]]>Park(ing) Day NYC: A Garden Grows in Flatbushhttp://britinbrooklyn.squarespace.com/britinbrooklyn_photo_blog/2009/9/18/parking-day-nyc-a-garden-grows-in-flatbush.htmlBIB2009-09-18T22:25:56Z2009-09-18T22:25:56Z

Sustainable Flatbush and Flatbush Gardener joined forces to transform a parking space into a temporary garden on the corner of Cortelyou Road and Argyle Road. "I had to get out here at 2 a.m. to grab the space, then come back at 7 a.m. to build the garden," Chris Kreussling of Flatbush Gardener told me. "We even have wi-fi access thanks to the Brooklyn Library." From what I saw, the biggest hit with the younger visitors was the real grass.

You may have seen the sumptuous isolated renderings of the latest design for the Ratner basketball arena,
but here is a composite of it in context. Fellow Atlantic Yards Camera Clubber Jonathan Barkey
put this image together from two shots: one from the model, the other from his aerial tour.
