Because its Hot

Autumn Come to Coney Island

 

Coney Island can become extremely crowded during the hotter days of the year, but now…Its quite serene.  Walk around in mid November  at sunset and you will find fisherman, joggers, and fellow photographers.

I definitely wanted to get a shot of waves breaking and Steeplechase Pier in the background.  What I didn’t want to do was underestimate the tide and have freezing water soak me up to my knees (which, if you haven’t figured out already, happened).

Many of the shops (including Ruby’s) along the boardwalk are in the process of being evicted to make room for development.

I offer my apologies for the sparse blogging, I’ve been crazy busy as of late.
