Description
A late afternoon stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge eventually dumped my friends and I on this little pier where we had ice cream and watched the sun set on Manhattan.
I had no idea until later that this warm and inviting spot is actually historic. It was here at Fulton Ferry in 1776 that then General Washington was present as his men evacuated after defeat at Long Island. There's nothing to see about that history, though, but I loved the warm light hitting the brick buildings and the charming building that looks like a lighthouse but is a 1930's Fireboat house. Fireboats were launched from this site.
Obviously, I have edited this image. I took the warm light as my cue and created a weathered vintage feel that took advantage of those golden tones. Primarily, though, it's a golden memory of a late afternoon in Brooklyn, maybe you had one, too?
