Coney Island from the Air
Brooklyn, NY - sine - Friday, July 15th, 2005 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
Following in the sprit of Airplane Wing Photos, I wanted to share some photos I recently took while circling over JFK Airport for a landing... and passing right over Brooklyn, Staten Island, and best of all, Coney Island.
This is the western tip of Coney Island, and you can clearly see the parachute drop under the cloud cover... immediately to its left is this building.
Here, you can see the shape of Coney, as well as Staten Island above it... and the Verrazano Bridge that connects it to Brooklyn.
Same, with Airplane wing.

jack, yes. i rode a steeplechase horse. i was very small. i was born in '52 in brooklyn and grew up a few miles from coney island and steeplechase park. on sundays my dad took us to coney island. steeplechase park was more magical to a little kid than disney could ever compare to. i couldn't immediately ride the steeplechase horse. or the cyclone roller coaster for that matter. you had to get somewhat big enough. but when i was... i mounted that wooden horse with my dad seated behind me and we took off. it was fantastic. no belts. no safety but for my grip and my dad's on me. same went for the cyclone. and the amazing parachute jump, now defunct but not the thrill of memory.
bstoioff@yahoo.com: wow, how'd you do that???
