Webmaster: picture-heavy, please feel free to delete.

As promised, more shots of Brooklyn, this time in Park Slope, New York State. This is a section of New York City.

Traveling north on the BQE (Brooklyn-Queens Expressway) to Queens leaving Brooklyn. Shot this through the car window at 70 mph. The speed limit is technically 50 mph on all NYC highways. In actuality, there is so much volume, it is just not enforced, at all. You usually cant go even 50 mph.

Empire State Building on left.

Citicorp center (Citibank)in middle (45* angle sloped solar-collector roof) The solar panel was shut down decades ago. *SIGH* Their other building is in Queens (at the right of the frame)in bluish glass. It look bigger only because of proximity to camera.
 
Even new construction is made to look "classic"

Stucco exterior finishes are a new concept here.
It was always brick or "brownstone" in the city, and brick, stone or concrete /vinyl siding in the suburbs.

Interestigly the chosen color is an attempt to imitate the color of brick.

Say what?
Can we have that again in English, please?

Many immigrants here have a washer, but not a dryer.
(Yes, we have a 7-month heating season, meaning it gets mighty cold here!)

Do I have to personally go teach ESL?
and does the print shop not proof-read these things?
