Once upon a cloudy day in Coney Island...
Yes, I had two hot dogs...and French fries.
Oh, and cotton candy. Don't judge, I shared.
Window
I don't know what my obsession is with windows (and doors). Maybe it's because, for one, the windows in my apartment do not open "normally." That is, it's a newer building so all of the windows open out. And, they open out to only about a couple of inches, so yeah, I hate our current window situation. I also forgot to mention that our view is a whole lot of brick walls. No green whatsoever.
Not like the above window, though. The above picture was taken in the country -- Upstate New York to be specific. There's something about a window facing nature that just brings about a feeling of serenity. I mean, duh, I guess a view of a brick wall is not exactly the symbol of serenity. But still, being surrounded by nature is soooo necessary.
So, in closing, that's a yes (and a please) to more green space in urban areas!

Weekend | Beach Day
Growing up in New York, one had to be careful when picking beaches to go to: In my day, finding medical waste, such as syringes, floating in the waters of Coney Island beach wasn't too far-fetched. But a lot has changed since then, and apparently (according to New York's water quality numbers), Coney Island Beach has improved drastically from its needle poking days.
So when some friends and I decided to go to the beach, we could only think of one beach to go to...Robert Moses State Park Beach.
Yeah, so I'm still traumatized. Robert Moses (whom as a person himself was a pretty awful, racist guy) has, nevertheless, a pretty awesome beach named in his name. Located on the western end of Fire Island, Long Island, there's lots of sand (5 miles worth) and big waves. Also, what I've always loved about this beach are the snacks they sell (i.e. french fries in a cup). Always have food on the brain...
Anyway, to good times at the beach!
Another feet shot...of course.
