Today’s photos are of my ride to Fairway in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
I will be going back soon to take more shots of this cool little neighborhood.

A little info on Red Hook…
Red Hook in Brooklyn is a surprising neighborhood tucked along an old industrial waterfront.
It’s chock-a-block with refreshing views of both the water and southern tip of Manhattan, dedicated local residents, and interesting venues. Red Hook makes for a great day trip from Manhattan for tourists and visitors, and an interesting place for Brooklyn residents to explore.
Red Hook in Brooklyn is more than your typical Brooklyn neighborhood. It’s a work in progress, defined by a mixture of light industry, open space, residential enclaves and a still palpable sense of urban pioneering. The population density here is lower than in most of Manhattan, so it can seem, by comparison, very quiet.

Love the third and last photo! Great old building
Very revealings shots in various parts of Red Hook, Nikki! These old industrial neighborhoods cum-residential always fascinate me with their variety and their depth of personality!
Great shots capturing the little neighborhood.
The thing I love about your photos is your use of angles! Keep it up!
Great sequence – a very distinct atmosphere you’ve captured. Very nice.
