It was such a gorgeous day in New York -- high of about 71, I think -- that I went out this afternoon and took some photographs for a project that I'm working on about the layer of oil and gas sludge laying underneath the Brooklyn neighborhood of Greenpoint. I was struck by this "Danger: No Smoking" sign along Newtown Creek, maybe, umm, a hundred feet from an oil containment boom. I guess they're trying to prevent another Cuyahoga River fire:
Here's a wide shot of the oil containment boom behind the Peerless Importers building, the site of the old Paragon Oil terminal, with Manhattan in the background:
The blog Gowanus Lounge has been tracking stories that construction at the corner of 11th Street and Roebling in North Williamsburg has tapped into underground oil pools -- quite a distance from what's generally thought of the boundaries of the Greenpoint spill. I stopped by the Roebling site, and while I didn't find any oil, I did find workers mucking around in the dirt and mud:
Hope the day was lovely wherever you are. I'm certainly a more pleasant person when the weather is this darn nice.
