Hunters Point, Queens / By the water

Gantry Plaza State Park

The city, seen from a little distance. Piers, old gantries, and an open edge of water.

WHY WE INCLUDED IT

The restored gantries preserve a trace of the working waterfront while Manhattan fills the opposite bank. End a gallery afternoon here and let the view widen.

A SMALL INVITATION

From a safe seat, watch one ferry cross the frame. There is no next thing to photograph.

AFTER THE WALK

Take the quieter way home.

Once you are comfortably seated somewhere still, make a little room for a three-minute pause.
