Governors Island

Even Governors Island, once a smiling garden, appertaining to the sovereigns of the province, was now covered with fortifications, enclosing a tremendous block house- so that this once peaceful island resembled a fierce little warrior in a big cocked hat, breathing gunpowder and defiance to the world!

---Washington Irving ,1809
Getting Aboard!

I didn't get a chance to visit this office, I love this tree, full with colorful energy.


Arts at the Admiral's house and buildings - These black & white printings catch my eyes of lyrics " Here today, gone tomorrow, never forgotten."!

The clouds above me come together and disperse;
The breeze in the courtyard departs and returns.
Life is like that, so why not relax?
Silly me, tried to stop the wind before messing up my messy hair,lolllllllll
I have to admit on thing- I've a wonderful life......today! ha ha ha .........

Governors Island , located in New York Harbor, offers some of the most dramatic and rarely seen views of the NYC skyline and surrounding landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Brooklyn Bridge. These spectacular views are a perfect backdrop to a day on the Island.
