Brooklyn Winter Flea Market

My wife and I had last Saturday off from work and whilst looking for something to do indoors on a blistering cold winter morning with windchills driving down the temperature into the single digits we found ourselves at what was the old Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower in Brooklyn.
What a treat it was considering the unique architecture of this iconic building. Completed in the late 1920’s in a modernised Byzantine-Romanesque style with 63 foot vaulted ceilings this place could have been a church!
Considering I was heading to a flea market I did not carry any of my Nikon’s and as the old saying goes the best camera is the one you have with you, I used my Google Pixel for this shot.

Let’s Celebrate our Diversity

Celebrate our Diversity,
For we are very different;
Respect our uniqueness,
For each of us are distinct;

For in the end we are but one,
We all represent Humanity;
In a little speck of the universe,
On a planet we call earth.
