The Brooklyn Bridge
At the end of the month I will go see my oncologist for an annual checkup. I used to go every 3 months and then every 6 and at the 5 year mark graduated to annual visits. Although it has been 9 years since my diagnosis I still get super anxious when I have to go see him. I go to Sloan Kettering in NYC so the city that I love is always a bit tainted for me. Each time I go to the doctor my hubby comes with me and we always do something good afterwards while we are in the city.
This is another favorite of mine. I had to get a shot of this lamp post on the bridge because of the words "Love Me" written on it! So cool! I also sell it as a photo card in my etsy store.
These photos were taken last November after my annual visit. I had always wanted to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. It has been on my to do list for many years. So finally I decided that we would go that day. The above shot is my favorite and is listed in my etsy shop as a photo card. I digitally altered all the photos in black and white. It was an overcast day and I just love the feel it gives these shots.
This was a random light post but I thought it looked cool against the bridge cables.

I enjoyed every moment on that bridge. At first I was scared walking across it due to the height. But then I thought how silly that was with all I have survived in my life!
Not sure yet what we will do after my upcoming visit but I think it will definitely involve dinner at one of our favorite italian places in the city!
PS . . . Thanks to all of you for the amazing comments on my last post! I am happy to announce that she has a new home! Very excited to have sold her too!

ReplyDeleteP.S. Did you see my blog today?! :-)
Oh how I love that top shot of the Brooklyn Bridge! I think, of all the bridges I have seen photos of, that is my consistent favorite---there is something in it that is just so sturdy and grand at the same time.
ReplyDeleteLove all the pics---glad you got to walk the bridge!!!

I love that Brooklyn Bridge. Those photos are just awesome as is the picture of you and your hubby. Very nice. Bobby Flays work place is upstairs and the BB is visible. Especially when he is outside grilling, it just right in back of the building he works in. Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo's as always Cathy! Sending you lots of positive thoughts for the end of the month.

Oh I want to go back there and explore. I loved Manhatten and our second in Brooklyn. And that is an excellent way to treat yourself after you do something that you don't like to do but have to. I think I'll start doing that too :)
