beautiful…As i never been to Coney Island, for me remains a mythical place…
RebeccaT replied
Thank you Kostis.., It’s funny, but I’ve been there a few times and it still remains a bit mythical to me as well :) – It always felt like stepping into another world… I hope it still feels that way after they change everything… but I doubt it.

unreal sort of colours and angle but I just love it
RebeccaT replied
So glad you like it… this view is gone now I suppose… It was taken with one of the Astroland rides in the foreground (to add some pretty carnival color) – and since Astroland was closed last year…I’m thinking they took all of the pretty little rides with them. :(

Thanks Isa! – So glad you like it! :) – bet it was a fun time – would have loved to go to Coney Island in the 60’s – my husband grew up in Brooklyn and talks about it all the time :).
