Brooklyn, NY

While visiting my father and his partner in Brooklyn, I stayed at their apartment on Flatbush Avenue. This was in 2018.

It took me some time to adjust to the subway system, but once I felt comfortable, I began visiting local parks and taking lots of pictures.

My visit coincided with the arrival of my uncle from England. We had a good visit and got to see local venues including the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.

The museum had two exhibit’s running, Black Freedom and Korean Art. We also visited the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

The photos were taken with a Fujifilm Finepix HS 25 EXR.

I have been having a terrible time with my phone service and the GPS. I don’t know if it’s the tall buildings, electrical interference, or even poor coverage.

I use Consumer Cellular with no issues back home (NC), but here in the city (NY), it has been a crapshoot. Using my phone on the subway is the worst, with all of the ups, downs, tunnels, bridges, and nausea-inducing turns.

Even at the apartment, the GPS thinks I am across the way. Sometimes it wanders or just loses connection.

I’ve got four more days of this, so I probably won’t play much Pokémon Go until I get back to JFK for my flight to North Carolina.
