Big houses



This is one of the big houses in brookly. this one is kinda a mansion, or used to be. now most of the big houses that were built a lot of time ago are appartments, store or office. 
New york is growing very fast and they need more and more places to live and more places for bussines.

This side of brooklyn is one of the most expensive neighborhood to live in new york. but is one of the pretiest neighborhood.




I wish I could've started from here. 
Now it looks way better. 
I guess looking at things from the inside,
quickly changing, moving and turning around
isn't always wise. 

Sometimes it's better to look at things from the distance. 
To look at them from the outside.
Slowly walking, as senseless noon
shoves cold wind in your face
along with the distant sounds
of the life you love and hate. 

I wish I could've started from here, 
looking at life from the outside... 


This week we went to Downton Brooklyn that is such as a amazing place as Manhattan, it was really fun get to know the other side of the city, special because Brooklyn it so big and has so many things. 
The park was my favorite part of all, in this place you are able to se all the city and stay near to the beach also you can see the Brooklyn bridge and under this an amazing carousel that makes you feel like magic, everything was beautiful.

Brooklyn Bridge

This Friday was a wonderful day. We visit many exciting places but the one that I liked most was the Brooklyn bridge park. It has an amazing view of Manhattan. All the nature that has on it. Is an excellent place for having relaxing time because you can go to run, exercise yourself or just go and sit and reading a book. I thing that at night it will have a better view with all lights in Manhattan. Is was a great experience, I hope I will be there again.


Dumbo!

even though i have been in this part of Brooklyn before, it was such a great time to enjoy the view at daylight. All the history that involves the park above the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridge it´s worth the cold weather. Such a good luck that every Friday is cold. I think that the part that i liked most, was the Grand Theft Auto recreation of the sky, i mean it comes from a video game and its being shown in a public part, that´s amazing.

Also the view from the neighborhood of the Jehova´s witnesses is amazing tho, and walking under the Manhattan bridge and also the postal of the empire state between the space under the bridge is very cool.

Mixed emotions in Brooklyn Bay.



Mixed emotions in Brooklyn Bay.
While we were walking by the river, I found a couple of die herrings lying on the water. I take one of them and these fish make me wonder.
The view was beautiful and I can see the river, the buildings, and a park in construction on the water.
A construction that is able to remember about the storms and the force of the winds and hurricanes.
Quiet and peaceful flowing water that hide an enormous power when is disturbed.  
Silent and death, the herring was witness of my steps walking by the river.  

BOROUGH HALL, 1848

 
 
Brooklyn Borough Hall was the first building I saw when we started our class, and it capture my attention, I think it is beautiful and interesting. I learn that it was designed by architects Calvin Pollard, and Gamaliel King. It was completed in 1848 to be used as the city hall of the former city of Brooklyn. In January 1898 the independent City of Brooklyn merged with the City of New York, and Kings County became the Borough of Brooklyn, at which time the building became Brooklyn Borough Hall.
