Brooklyn Bridge Park: B.C.- before carousel

A gray Spring day makes the greenery "pop", and softens the swooping metal of the bridge and railing. I've had to return to this post to add: note the expanse of green grass, and the long hanging branches of a very large willow tree. And notice what is missing from the bridge photo's upper right area - no Freedom Tower, no Gehry building yet visible. Now, there is more pavement and a (lovely) carousel in the park, less grass, and no willow tree.
