Here are some photos of Prospect Park after the hail storm in Brooklyn last night. The air temperature was alternately warm or cold depending on where I was standing and I was completely alone once I entered the park. Spooky. A few days ago I marveled how my favorite tree in the park had withstood the recent tornado damage and I was looking at a good third of it blocking the tunnel onto The Long Meadow. The tree was so enormous I was sure Frederick Law Olmstead had planted it himself.
Sometimes I think there are quite enough photographers in the world and then sometimes when I’m by myself shooting I wonder where all the other photographers are.
Side Note 1: I’m a huge Olmstead fan and Witold Rybczynski’s A Clearing in the Distance is amazing. Side Note 2: I was eating chili with my wife at the Waterfront Tavern on Atlantic during the storm (it was delicious), so I apologize for the lack of hail photos.
