Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY

 

I had a great day lounging on the beach, walking the Boardwalk and along the sandy beach. It was a gorgeous day.  Outstanding weather.

It has been close to 15 years since I last visited Coney Island and there have been lots of changes. The place is really built up with plenty of new shops, stores and restaurants. Much cleaner than in past years. Lots of improvements. Wow!

No. I don’t swim but I did stick my toes in the surf as you will see in the below video.  Me and roller-coasters are not friends so no getting on stomach turning rides. Next time I think I might try the Bumper Cars. I always Loved Bumper Cars. Fun. Nothing like a beautiful sunny day filled with Sun, sea, sand and surf!

PHOTO CHALLENGE

Textures

We consume photos through our eyes, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have a tactile element, too.
