In a word, the Grand Canyon of New York City. This sumptuous ledge perches on the edge of a purgatory of fall foliage, a veritable comme sonne comme sonne du san if one can catch it in the right moment. Locals will celebrate the changing modes of growth, from the tall to the short, and those unfamiliar with the flippant character of the city will never recover. The Ravine stands, as it were, on cusp of modernity and on the tail of Gothic amnesia.
I saw several humans enjoying the sun in the hours I was out, exhibiting the following behaviors that seemed central to their interactions with the Ravine (in order): looking up, often with a single hand shielding the top of the gaze as a salute to the powers that be. looking down, without any modifications to the hands or other limbs. looking side to side. looking in various other directions. peering at leafy things. ignoring rocky things unless those rocky things were particularly large or pointy or arranged in a rare shape. pointing at animals. exclaiming at birds, especially those birds who were particularly precious with their time in the Ravine and moved quickly onto their next locations. pointing at plants, especially those that the human purported to be able to name. Rampant among men wearing shorts and sunglasses, modal among these men who were in loveless relationships, moderate to rare among other demographics. walking very fast so as to avoid interacting with the space at all, in some ritual which the author has concluded could only be a sign of perceived witchcraft.
Without spoiling the rigor of the moment, I recommend heeding the words of a local chipmunk, as accounted here:
What is a ravine if not a warning? To fly forward or to stand watching all The world wax and wane, that remains to see - Or perhaps only to witness the fall. If pride could come to claim its peace, only Three questions would remain: what we should do, Who we should be, and why it matters in Any case? So maybe it's cleaner to Hold onto dignity long as you can And find your footing...
Read moreI think fire across from Ravine, also across from east side of Nethermead arches may have been deliberate or caused by cigarette smoking.
I've seen individuals smoking, duos and like a marathon event and each and everyone of them got away with it. Not a single official, undercover cop, a voice from speaker with virtual monitoring telling folks to put cigarette, weed or whatever else, out safely.
Homeless people are being blamed for the fire. The lowest hanging fruit when players start gaming.
Google maps will not upload collage pics for Prospect Park or sites in park so I'm unable to upload collages of close-up, written messages folks left on fence about fire. I've been able to upload collages for other locations so Google maps needs some updates on how their app functions.
App is also unable to combine an address with a standalone facility occupying a single space. Meaning, users can search an address, see facility in Google pic but can only see other pics by searching facility's name.
I'm giving review one star because Prospect Park's officials need to check-in to fact that there are people willing to damage park in whichever way they can for whatever reasons and park's advocates are looking like voyeurs.
What looked like used condoms can be found off main paths and even close to sidewalks. Human trafficking may be taking place in that park and who looks like they monitoring for...
Read moreGood day, I visited the Ravine in Prospect Park after hearing of the fire. I did not allow a week to pass as something led me to go. It was dark out during my visit as I do night excursions at different parks, so there wasn't much visibility for me to see damage. But the scent of the smoke was really strong, along with a serene yet tense feeling in the air. I would say this is the first park where I walked past about 3 different men dressed in all black with backpacks. So watch your back and/or go with others. Contact me as well if you don't have the company to come with. Definitely will be exploring the Ravine again, during the...
