Maritime photos

I took these photos last weekend. And no, they're not of Portland! They were taken in Red Hook, Brooklyn, the neighborhood where I met N and where he lives, and which I often fantasized about moving to. It seemed a sort of last-resort-compromise on moving away from Manhattan and other parts of Brooklyn, to a more tame part of the city that reminded me a lot of small New England coastal towns--like the one I live in now. The reality of living there is a bit different, as the commute into Manhattan requires a bus-to-subway transfer, or a car. But New Englanders will be able to see why I love the neighborhood so much--it practically looks like Maine! (Sorry they're sideways.)
