yesterday after brunch with friends in greenpoint i went back home. when i got out of the station i realized it was still early and there was enough light to go to the abandoned railroad tracks i have been meaning to go to forever to take photos. These tracks are part of the Long Island Railroad Bushwick Branch that went from Brooklyn to Queens. info on them can be found here and here.

i'm fascinated by decay and abandoned places, i connect/relate with both concepts entirely so when i first moved to bushwick and saw these, i fell in love and being there yesterday was a thrill. i took some photos, however, my aim was to walk down the tracks exploring the detritus and taking more photos but i was so incredibly harrassed by men when i was there i had to leave. it was frustrating, guys in cars would stop to bother me and it became very creepy, i realized i was putting myself in a dangerous position. there's photos of the tracks from someone that went in in the blog bushwickbk.com i want to go back with maybe 2-3 guys and walk the tracks. this is one of the photos i took, there's more in my flickr page but i feel i haven't even scratched the surface yet.
