Red and White and Dead All Over

July 20, 2008 - 85th Street and 5th Avenue, Brooklyn

Promenade Expiration

There, in the lower right, on the grass. This photo was taken on July 15, 2008 along the Belt Parkway, near the bike/foot path along the Verrazano Narrows. Two days later, on July 17, and the umbrella is a few feet away, on the path itself. Hundreds of unconcerned passers-by have ignored this sad corpse.

If this umbrella looks familiar, scroll up. I believe it is the same umbrella that was resting against the front bumber of the car at 9 AM. 12 hours later, some soul had tried to give it a proper burial, but others have disregarded the gesture, and heaper more trash on the sad, blue carcass.
