An evening at an urban beach


(Yes, yes, I know it’s been a while since a posting; I’ve got a few in the queue, I promise.)

This evening the family and I went to Plum Beach, a little bit of beach right off of the Belt Parkway between exits 9 and 11.

It’s really kind of an interesting beach; there are nice views of Kingsborough Community College (behind the sailboat)


and a great view (behind the fog) of the Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge (connecting Brooklyn to the Rockaways across Jamaica Bay)

and of course, there was the occasional crab on its back

but alas, being an urban beach, it has the blight that my fellow city-dwellers bless us with: garbage every 3 steps:


Sic transit gloria urbi.

ugh, and the water was polluted with gas too. You couldn't swim there.
