An American Dream: Lots of Woods--Wilderness--to Explore
By Norma Jaeger Hopcraft
Living in densely developed Brooklyn and working in midtown Manhattan, I find I'm hungry to see trees.
I'm focusing on gorgeous trees in Brooklyn in the next two posts.
Through the gates to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. This tree sends a branch low to give shade to garden-goers.
There's no sense of wildness in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. You can see through the woodsy patches to the street. You're never out of earshot of traffic noise. But when the sun sets and catches an apartment facade on Ocean Avenue, a bit of magic occurs anyway.
Some great trees enjoying the sunset. The structure you see is called Harry's Wall.
Westward toward the sunset.
The sun setting on Prospect Park's lake. A little wooden cabana provides shelter from sudden showers.
The lake at Prospect Park. The only wilderness and wildness in Brooklyn is in the people : ) How about you? Do you need to walk in deep woods to stay sane? Comment below!
