Just about the coolest thing I have ever seen

As the fan(s) of this blog know, I really like Governor’s Island. I go there a lot, actually as much as possible and it is a really great place. Lovely and green and not as over run by people as a place like Central Park or something.

I started going to Governor’s Island in 2007, after having gone by it many times on the Circle Line and wondering what it was. I have posted photos up here before of views of the island itself and views from the island. As some of you may know, Governor’s Island is an old military base with many unoccupied houses on it. Also, there is a very pretty church I have been by many times, but never gone in because it was always closed.

Yes, that is my hand. No, I do not plan on revealing any more body parts. And one last one that I really think looks like it belongs on the cover of a Pink Floyd album:
