Coney Island: Lonesome summer morning

Morning jogger

 

Coney Island is a peninsula (and formerly an island) located in southernmost Brooklyn, New York City. Traditionally it's a Jewish community. The huge beach, aquarium and amusement parks had once made it a major attraction to New Yorkers in the 50's and 60's. But now it has lost its resplendence. However, because of its "historical" significance and flavor, it attracts photographers in New York and film makers, and it has appeared in many movies that set in New York. I got there on an early Saturday morning in June and spent about 2 hours wondering around and shooting pictures. I almost never get up so early, but the experience was just nice.
