Hipsters on a Roof

Well, the content of this post is pretty much exactly what the title suggests.

Here are some photos.  Of hipsters... on a roof.

Where did I see these hipsters of glory?  And, how did I get an aerial shot of them on a roof?  Skill, my friends.  I learned how to fly the other day. Okay, that's a lie, obviously.  But, I really did shoot them from above.  I was on a bridge.  The Manhattan Bridge, to be exact.  This man and woman were on a rooftop below, on the Brooklyn side.  There were a few shockingly warm days in the middle of this week, and I decided to take advantage of my thursday by actually walking home from Manhattan.  Yes, this is an insanely long walk, and yes, I did bail once I got to the Atlantic-Pacific Station, about a half an hour away from my apartment.  However, I did make it over the bridge.  It was beautiful... but, more about that in tomorrow's post!

Seriously, though.  Check out this guy's glasses!  Both pairs...

Flamingo Al Fresco

No, Flamingo al Fresco isn't some kind of dish.  The flamingos at Sea World were outside- they weren't even in a cage!  There was a shallow pool filled with flamingos, ibises, and many kinds of ducks.  It was really ovely.  The pink of the flamingos, the red of the ibises, the orange of the water, the green of the plants, and the reddish brown of the surrounding buildings all blended together to create a rather striking visual.  Most of the flamingos were gathered together at one end of their habitat, but this one was all off by itself.  This was just a little after noon, and the sun was extremely high in the sky, making it pretty hot.  But, that sun shone down almost directly on the top of this flamingo, making it basically glow.
