Life in Bushwick, Brooklyn -- Bushwick blog

Fotos: Dusk, 68th Rd/Woodward

The light wasn’t great, but I had to take this shot of the church steeple above a T-intersection in Ridgewood.

Fotos: New York from a Bushwick Roof

There are a lot of good views from Bushwick, even from certain streets. But nothing beats a rooftop.

Fotos: Brick Houses, St. Nick/Starr

As Bushwick goes, a pristine block of well-kept houses and big shade trees on St. Nicholas Avenue between Starr and Willoughby. Taken from a roof across the street.

The light was beautiful for about 30 minutes the other day as the sun set.

I sat here for a bit with a friend on a beautiful day recently.

Fotos: Alternating Houses, Stanhope/St. Nick

I thought the alternating colors on this block of houses on St. Nicholas between Stanhope and Himrod were cool.

Fotos: Robin Hood on Stanhope/Wyckoff

We walked past this row of buildings with two faces in the lintels: one that looks like Robin Hood and another that looks like a Victorian lady. I’m sure there’s some historical cultural context that would make this make sense.

Carriage House, Suydam/Bushwick

I passed this attractive carriage house today. All it needs is a good scrubbing, and a coat of fresh paint for those doors.

Fotos: No Ball Playing, Gates/Grandview

Apparently there was a time in our neighborhood when ball playing was so scandalous that people had metal signs made to warn against it.
