Puff on Pacific Street

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys. One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

Desktop Day: Push Bike and Brooklyn Sky

The borders of the Vanderbilt Railyards often present the lens with surprising juxtapositions. This desktop-sized image, taken from Atlantic Avenue, is a good example. More and more of these fences are springing up as the Ratnerfication of the area continues apace. Instructions Left-click on the image first to open up the large version. Windows PC: Right-click on the large image and select 'set as desktop background'. You can also right-click and 'save as', then use your desktop properties settings to add the file you just saved and format it how you prefer. There's more info on customising your PC desktop here.

Since my last wander round the Atlantic Yards footprint a large new fence has been erected and a footpath closed. Pacific Street is now narrower by about a quarter.
