A Very Special Urban Fur: Calvary Cemetery Style!
Filed under: 11101, 11104, Long Island City, Long Island City Queens, Sunnyside, Sunnyside Queens
Today I had the pleasure of taking a lengthy sojourn with the imitable proprietors of Forgotten-NY and The Newtown Pentacle. It was after the first leg of our tour that Mitch Waxman, the author of the former site, took me on a tour of Calvary Cemetery.
And I learned that not all the “residents” therein have two legs!
Per Mitch, Calvary is hoppin’ with these little guys (and gals). We are talking about rabbits after all!
Here’s a little footage I shot of this handsome little fellow. As you will see he is not too big on humans. Living ones, anyway!
Special thanks go out to Mitch for taking the time to show me some of the finer points of Calvary (among other things) today. In closing, I’d like to mention the reason why he and Kevin were taking a walk today: they are in the planning stages for a tour of points Long Island City, Sunnyside and beyond. This will come to pass April 16— so mark your calendars!

P.S.: I will be compiling a slide show of sights— and sounds— from today’s sojourn so check back!
New York Shitty Slide Show Du Jour: Two Feet, Two Boroughs, Three Bridges & Four Hours

As I intimated yesterday I took a four hour photo walk with an occasional contributor to the New York Shitty photo pool and full-time Greenpointer: Noah Devereaux. He was the tour guide. Where he went, I followed. Chattering a great deal of the way. The following should give you some idea of our route.
We started at Greenpoint and Manhattan Avenue at 6:00 p.m. and, almost four hours later, ended up back there. The following slide show (including the lovely, if surreal, shots of the ecological wonder that is English Kills— which grace the beginning of this post) features everything in between. Enjoy!
As always you can (and should) view these images in large format by clicking here.
