Finding the Rustic in Brooklyn


I am on my feet all day, walking around my neighborhood of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill. I am fortunate to live in such a wonderful and historic area of Brooklyn, since there is much to be inspired by for someone of my sensibilities. Every once and a while I come across a wonderful scene that looks like it was plucked out of history or out of the rustic Adirondacks. Surrounding Fort Greene Park is this old stone wall. A few days ago, after some heavy rains I noticed a wonderful bloom of moss covering the surface of the wall. I guess at times I am torn between where I eventually want to live... Brooklyn or the Backwoods... then I  find a reason to be in both.
