Sunny Day at Court Square in Brooklyn
Near the A & C train Jay Street Metro Tech subway station. Even closer are the 4, 5, 2, 3 and R subway trains Borough Hall Station.
Temps once again in the upper 70s. Great Day to take and absorb some Vitamin D.
Major courthouses, Farmers Market, plenty of green space areas for fun, games, and exercise. Of course lots of shops and stores for dedicated shoppers and those just browsing for bargains. Brooklyn Law School, Municipal Building. One of the Larger major Brooklyn Post Offices where you can also get your Passport.
Memorial dedicated to World War II soldiers. Almost made it to the Brooklyn Bridge but I got called away. In some photos you can see the Brooklyn Bridge off in the distance.
Took a few photos of the Henry Ward Beecher statue. He was a famous Abolitionist. Here is more information on Henry Ward Beecher from Wikipedia.

Sunny Caturday Saturday in Court Square Brooklyn. Getting that Vitamin D!!
Great photos, DeBorah. The buildings are fantastic–I love those huge columns that make you feel dwarfed by them.
Thanks. Yes the buildings are large and magnificent. I love architecture. I’m going to share more photos on my Photography Blog Roaming Urban Gypsy next week.
