Greenwood Cemetery


The imposing entrance to Greenwood Cemetery in the Kensington area of Brooklyn. Notable residents include Horace Greeley, Henry Ward Beecher, Samuel Morse, William M Tweed, Leonard Bernstein, William S Hart, & Jean-Michel Basquiat.


Valley Water.


Boss Tweed's gravesite. Wonder how much of the construction cost went to line the pockets of the fat cats.






The luminous morning sun made these a little too cheerful for my taste. I'll have to return on a gloomier day.


As good a name as any for an avenue.
