This is a scene in the Park Slope neighborhood in Brooklyn. The Brownstones in that area are amazing – very elegant, inspiring architecture. The late day lighting that day was incredible, warm and shimmering. There are neighborhoods such as Park Slope in this huge city that are relatively quiet, settled, neighborly, charming, and yet it is still so New York.

Park Slope neighborhood is in the western section of Brooklyn, New York City’s most populous borough. Park Slope is considered one of New York City’s most desirable neighborhoods. In 2010, it was ranked #1 in New York by New York Magazine citing its quality public schools, dining, nightlife, shopping, access to public transit, green space, quality housing, safety, and creative capital, among other aspects. Preservationists helped secure landmark status for many of the neighborhood’s blocks of historic brownstone, and other properties. In the 1970′s gentrification began to take off, and now the influx of new upper middle class residents have made Park Slope one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Brooklyn.
