South Street Seaport

I took a trip down to the South Street Seaport one day after work recently. This group of images were taken that night.

The first image below is just to the left of where the South Street Seaport shopping area begins.

When I first turned the corner and saw this scene, it reminded me of what someone in the late 1800's probably saw, with the red brick buildings, and the ships' masts towering over the roofline of the building. This is an HDR photo.

The Heartland Brewery had a great carved wood sign, with gold leaf and deep red colors.

The full name of this tug boat is the "Helen McAllister". It used to be called the W.O. Decker, and was built just up river in Long Island City, Queens, back in 1930.

I had seen this sail boat in the distance coming up river, and hoped it would pass along the Brooklyn Bridge, so with some patience, I was able to get this shot.

I stayed past sunset to get some more shots of the Brooklyn Bridge and the surrounding skyline.

I really like how the reflection in the water turned out on these two photos below.

As I was leaving for the night, I was walking back toward the subway and stopped for this shot below. This is the eastern side of the lower Manhattan skyline.
