For those not in the know, Bay Ridge is right over the Verrazano, a nice day to check out the sites (well…on my lunch break from work)…
I also wrote this about all the houses that had high walls (one pictured)…
“gated community” 7.23.18
castle walls
there is no war
no invading armies
so what are you keeping out?
invading eyes
your castle
on a hill
still
just a home
down here
also born
we are the same
you in your castle
a king
me, the peasant
in my home
so plain
the same
Here is some video from the foot bridge as well, not exactly as romantic as the Siene…
