This was taken in Coney Island amusement park. The Wonder Wheel is a famous ride there. All this will soon be torn down to “build up a parking lot”, or build condominiums.

Ah, Larry. Gone but not forgotten you fabulous creature. / He was a wildcatter from Louisiana, and we met in Coney Island, the once-famous Brooklyn amusement park landmark. I was painting signs, rides and carousels. He was managing the park. It was 24/7 non-stop noise, rock’n’roll, disco, motocycles, the Wonderwheel, plastic rocketships, food, beer, Jack Daniels, drugs, beach, color, sun moon stars, and danger. Knife and gun fights every night. Bodies washing ashore. What a summer! We fell in love (I was nuts for him – and he liked me a lot) and lived in his tiny trailer right off the go-kart track. We were in the bottom bunk, his sawed-off shotgun was in the top bunk. I don’t think we ever slept. / He was so totally alien to anyone I’d known before, all instinct like something feral. Speed. Action. Cooked Cajun food. Covered with grease from the go karts but loved to dress up. Could fix any motor, build any building, handle any problem. The isolated lonliness of six months on the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico brought him to Coney Island every summer. He drew people to him like a magnet. Everything he did was excessive til he passed out or puked. / “New York,” he said, “has got the best boxed cake in the world!” Entemann’s chocolate layer—he used to eat it in the shower. It was a long time ago, but the experience (one of those I’m gonna take a chance and do this come hell and highwater) was profound. I wrote a novel about it, and call it NOISE. Still trying to publish it and what a movie it would make, the synopsis and one chapter are on my website, www.hawksperch.com. and I just uploaded them here under “Writing”. / Would love to know what you think.

The Parachute Jump is a defunct amusement ride in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York, whose iconic open-frame steel structure remains a Brooklyn landmark. 262 feet tall and weighing 170 tons (150 tonnes), it has been called the “Eiffel Tower of Brooklyn”. It was built for the 1939 New York World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows Park, Queens, and moved to its current site, then part of the Steeplechase Park amusement park, in 1941. It is the only portion of Steeplechase Park still standing today. The ride ceased operations in 1968. Below the tower we see new digital antennas on the roofs of houses below. Taken from Car with Nikon D70s 70mm Fl, F/13, 1/640 sec.

As a kid I was always too scared to go on the Cyclone in Coney Island. It was supposed to be even scarier than all the other roller coasters. When I turned 30, I decided if I didn’t do it then, I never would. Afraid of having regrets in my old age, I forged ahead and with my heart beating to a Jerry Lee Lewis tune, stepped up to the looming giant plate. My stomach felt like it was popping popcorn and my screams and others on the ride probably contributed to my failing hearing. Years later, I returned to Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York because I wanted to have a last look at this place. Soon it will be torn down to “build up a parking lot”, or a condominium. The Cyclone still looked scary to me, but I look at it with pride as if I conquered it. To all those people who never had the opportunity to travel the BMT (back when trains in New York were known by letters), this is your opportunity to view this ride. To those that rode the train and felt the excitement of going to this magical place, this is a piece of nostalgia for you. I hope you buy this photo and keep a piece of Coney living.

Another taken at the School Bus car park at Coney Island. These vehicles are so iconic of America. I’ve cranked up the contrast and added some noise for effect.
