holy heatwave batman. the swimmy-wonderment sense of being the city has created within my soul is quickly melting away with the no nonsense temperatures we've had the past few days. trying to take in all the sights and learn the area is no picnic when you're drenched in your own sweat... segue - speaking of picnics, i had a wonderful memorial day around and about brooklyn yesterday and i hope the same for you and your families wherever they may be. the highlight of my holiday had to be the evening i spent at the brooklyn bridge park. it was a beautiful sight right before sunset, afterwards i walked a few blocks away from the water into an area known as dumbo (which i learned is an acronym for down under the manhattan bridge overpass, silly really...) and had the most wonderful meal at an italian cafe (focaccia and homemade pappardelle with lamb and asparagus, tiramisu for dessert). after dinner we ventured back towards the bridge and walked along the promenade, where i snapped some sensational shots of the most breathtaking view of the city at night.
