Here’s some pictures I took in or around McGolrick Park, Greenpoint.
Some random but complimentary images from our #greenpointers Instagram hashtag. Send us all your Greenpoint photos to be featured on Sunday Snaps!
If you’re a longtime reader, you know that the website was once called THE Greenpointers. Greenpointers.com was a laser pointer website, originally. When it became available, they tried to charge an arm and a leg for the domain, but I talked them down. Both sites are now mirrored.
Jon got this brand spankin’ new camera and it shoots this green focusing light out. It made for some fun shots around the hood. He is holding two ice cream pints in his hand. He has his priorities straight.
Christmas trees are so dramatic and vain. Cut me down and put all these lights and ornaments on me so everyone oohs and aahs when they see me! And your stupid cats want to get up all in me, but they can’t – what losers. Adorn me with all those fancy presents and make sure you water me four times per day. When you leave – turn the lights off or I might burn down your entire house. After all that, chip me and leave me for compost! But you can’t get rid of me, because I’m going to leave sharp needles all around your house that will cut your toes all summer. Merry Christmas!
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving break! Start your engines… Now things get real for the holidays!
Sunday’s Dog Masquerade & Food Drive for #SandyRelief was really fun and hilarious. While many of the dogs were humiliated or handicapped by their costumes, others really enjoyed all the attention! Especially the winners who received gift baskets with treats and toys. There was also a pie eating contest. Whomever ate an entire pie the fastest won the most ironic prize: another entire pie! Check out the rest of the photos on facebook.
With all the devastation from Hurricane Sandy, let’s enjoy some photos of Greenpoint’s most beautiful blocks! What is your favorite block in Greenpoint?
