More Brooklyn heights painting

Someone's been busy painting Brooklyn heights

Banksy strikes again

I was tempted to take the flower but I didn't even though I know someone who can use it.

The heights

Sign of the times in Brooklyn Heights on Remsen st during hurricane Sandy.

For a few moments this afternoon I was the only person on the Brooklyn Heights promenade.

Graffiti on Remsen street

As if this bit of sidewalk hasn't suffered enough, now it is graffitied.
Looks like someone in Brooklyn Heights doesn't trust NYPD.

Tallit Sweater at H&M?

I don't think H&M realizes what this looks like. Is it my imagination?

Snow angel

My brand new snow angel on the Brooklyn Heights promenade.

Wedding on the beach?

I passed by this - apparently Jewish/African American - wedding taking place between the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges in Brooklyn today during my morning run.

Montreal

"D" and I just got back from a short trip to Montreal. There, we took a quick, but much needed vacation. I feel pretty relaxed and ready to get back to work.

In Montreal we saw the Museum of Science, the Contemporary Art museum, the Cenerobotheque where we saw an interesting documentary "Baghdad Twist". We also found some wonderful cafes and a good bookstore or two. Mostly we relaxed.

I'm back!

After a year in Iraq I am back to Brooklyn Heights.

. . . the adventure continues.

Posting

Posting will be light for the next year as I prepare for and eventually deploy. We'll resume when I am a civilian again, but I'll see if I can make some periodic updates.
