Foggy Day on the Staten Island Ferry

Starting out early in the morning, the Brooklyn street has a cinematic aura.

Getting onto the Staten Island Ferry, a quick look out at the pier below and the sea beyond.

A little tug boat that seems to be heading straight for the ferry, and below, three photos of Manhattan as we pull away from the landing.

 

 

Once on SI, the fog continues as MTA buses pull in at the St. George Ferry Building to pick up passengers.

On the way back to Manhattan, an incoming ferry passes us. The fog has lifted.

The lower tip of Manhattan Island with the new WTC under construction on the right. Who said it had to be even taller the the towers it replaces?

Unable to resist.

Disembarking -- next time I'll get a better shot, but the colors alone are worth it.

Inside the terminal and on my way to the R-Train, Whitehall Station. Oh - and the ferry is free.

Foggy morning in the park

The block ahead -- soft, wet, and misty -- perfect early fall weather

I follow my neighbor into the park where people are working out, jogging, going to school, going to work

  

 

Misty morning glories by the playing field

Here's another of those Freudian views of a pathway through rows of trees

 

 

If you stand still long enough, the squirrels stop running away, and some become downright curious...

the last of the roses at Lafayette and Tompkins

The Christian Brothers visit the park

On my way home, I pass the 79th Precinct...never far away; and below, the One Kiln Community Farm on Greene Ave., a relative newcomer to the 'hood.

 

The snack trucks line up at the Greene Deli, which is run by these really nice guys from Yemen, who have informed me that Yemen is beautiful and green.
