[Photo courtesy of Shield/GL Flickr Pool] This image comes from Shield, who’s been posting great Brooklyn pics for a long time and started blogging about our beloved Gowanus around the same time we did in 2006. This image was taken through the viewfinder of an old Kodak Duaflex camera.

[Photo courtesy of galvarez51/GL Flickr Pool] The Carroll Street Bridge is one of our favorite places in all of New York City. It takes us back to a different time and as long as the Big G isn’t having a funky day, it’s a cool place. GL Flickr Pool contributor galvarez51 managed to capture it […]

[Photo courtesy of mikkeme/GL Flickr Pool] Oh, it’s definitely bad timing for a real estate firm, in this case one on N. 6 Street in Williamsburg, to be putting up scary Halloween stuff. But in their defense they do it every year. It’s acquired extra special meaning in 08, though.

[Photo courtesy of Caryn Rose/GL Flickr Pool] The L Train does bring much joy, at least, visually. In reality, it can be hellish, but that’s a different topic. In any case, we really dig the juxtaposition of images here of musician and hipster scene. Cool stuff.

[Photo courtesy of ethersong/GL Flickr Pool] This is the fairly repulsive state in which the Gowanus Canal is sometimes found. It comes from GL Flickr Pool contributor ethersong and the black and white treatment makes it even more special.

[Photo courtesy of June Carter Cash Peep/GL Flickr Pool] GL Flickr Pool Contributor June Carter Cash Peep sees a little something phallic in this pic of one of the entrances to Prospect Park. Others, of course, might only see flowers. Yet others, might think of both. Et tu?

[Photo courtesy of 52510thstreet/GL Flickr Pool] Here’s one from the GL Flickr Pool from a new contributor of a scene that is familiar to anyone that’s ever waited for a train at the lovely and special Smith-9th Street station on the F and G Lines. It gives us that warm and fuzzy Gowanus feeling.

[Photo courtesy of mugsniffer/GL Flickr Pool] The photographer and GL Photo Pool contributor writes: “Me mums looks at the large photographic mural in the Capital One bank building at the corner of Calyer and Manhattan. I got snapped at by a security guard that I couldn’t take pictures. I took some anyway.” We do love […]

[Photo courtesy of vaduzuvunt/GL Flickr Pool] The name given to this pic by the phtoographer, valued GL Flickr Pool contributor vaduzuvunt kind of speaks for itself. We have Mary. We have a cat. And we have no further questions.

[Photo courtesy of ethersong/GL Flickr Pool] The photographer calls this shot taken outside the alway picturesque entrance to the Smith-9th Street subway station, “Reunion Tour,” which we think works quite nicely, thank you. Maybe they were waiting for the Ikea shuttle?

[Photo courtesy Rubys Host/GL Flickr Pool] Here’s a shot of a wedding that took place under dark skies on the beach in Coney Island. It comes from one of our favorite GL Photo Pool contributors Rubys Host who, we might add, was extraordinarily supportive and encouraging during the time GL was down. We thank RH […]

[Photo courtesy of Dalton Rooney/GL Flickr Pool] This is a very cool shot of Prospect Park shot with a 4×5 pinhole camera. It’s a Palladium print. We think that means this is a decidedly non-digital work.
