Crushing on Flatbush
In addition to enjoying the art studio open house last Saturday, I also spent a great deal of that afternoon crushing on the neighborhood of Flatbush. A few of my favorite pics are below.
Brooklyn has considerably more tree-lined streets than it gets credit for – certainly by outsiders who took A Tree Grows In Brooklyn to mean the only tree. But I was extremely impressed with the kinds of trees that were lining a couple of the blocks. It’s as if they combine the majesty of trees with the majesty of stone pillars, and come out with majestic-squared.
This building has some particularly fancy detailing on the exterior…
…which is not to say the other houses in the neighborhood are slouches.
And the landscaping is inclusive of the fencing!
