Some hastily posted snapshots after the storm.

East Broadway and Catherine Street.

Picking up the residue, mostly disintegrating cardboard boxes.  Love the umbrella.

 

Water Street and Catherine Slip looking north to the Williamsburg Bridge.

Water Street and Catherine Slip looking south to the Brooklyn Bridge.

When I waded in I made it up to above my knee, the water a cool mix of fresh and salt.

He’s probably at its deepest.

An atmosphere of hushed play.

Nice to see the world change, as long as it’s not too much.
