Merry Christmas! The Editors and Staff of Mr. Blog’s Tepid ride don’t care if you’ve been naughty or nice, we appreciate all of our readers. These are some awesome pictures from one particular house in Brooklyn. There is one house in Dyker Heights that is so well-known that it has its own special on PBS. This isn’t that house, this is one that I think is even better. Actually, it is three houses who get together and make one amazing display for charity. Enjoy!

Picture Postcard: Calvert Vaux Park, Brooklyn NY

5 Jul

June 5, 2016

I took these in Calvert Vaux Park on July 3rd. This is a large park in South Brooklyn that, due to its isolation alongside the Belt Parkway, relatively few people go to. You can see the Coney Island Parachute Jump in the background of a couple, and if you look closely, you can spot a horseshoe crab or two. This is their spawning season. Much of the park is brand new and newly renovated, with ball fields and picnic areas. But along the water, there are still old relics of abandoned piers and half-submerged boats. I only covered the southern edge of the park and I’ll follow up with more pics from the bulk of the park later on in the month.
