A 360 panoramic view of the meadow in Prospect park. I did it by stiching 88 photos together. Please view the VR Movie i made with the photo here.
Inspired by shrike1964's recent photos of Acadia's Schoodic Point, we stopped by on our way to Quoddy Head and Cobscook Bay State Parks.
Prospect Harbor Light is mostly owned by the US Navy and is closed to the public. I was watched closely as I walked across the rocks to position myself for this shot.
I've seen abandoned housing projects in other cities before, but never here in New York City. This is one of three buildings of modest size and height that are completely empty.
The windows have been taken out, doorways are gated, the playgrounds, gardens and basketball courts surrounding them are in dis-repair. Even the parking lots are gated.
I have no idea what happened here, but I am curious. From the looks of things, it might not have been such a bad place to live.
This structure--known as the Concert Grove Pavilion or Oriental Pavilion--was designed by Calvert Vaux and built in 1874. After being defaced and repurposed as a snack bar by Robert Moses, it was almost completely destroyed by fire in 1974, when it was a century old. It was restored in the 1980s, and is now snack bar-free.
Bartel-Pritchard Circle at the corner of Prospect Park West and Prospect Park Southwest. The two granite columns decorated with acanthus leaves were designed by Stanford White in 1906, after the Acanthus Column of Delphi.
Christopher John Carpenter (b: April 27, 1975) was 22 years old and a highly-regarded prospect when he broke into the majors in 1997 with the Toronto Blue Jays. He stayed with Toronto until after the 2002 season. He is 6' 6" tall and weighs 230 pounds.
Carpenter began his pro career with the Medicine Hat Blue Jays of the short-season Pioneer League in 1994. In his debut against the Great Falls Dodgers, he tossed six scoreless innings of one-hit ball, fanning nine along the way. He ended up with a mark of 6–3 and turned in the league's third-lowest ERA. He was also picked as the Pioneer League's #3 prospect by league managers, behind Aaron Boone and Ray Brown.
Carpenter made his major league debut as a starter against the Minnesota Twins on May 12, 1997, pitching three innings in a 12–2 loss. He would lose his first five decisions before defeating the Chicago White Sox 6–5 on August 19, 1997. Carpenter pitched his first career complete game and shutout on September 9, 1997 as Toronto defeated the Anaheim Angels 2–0. Carpenter finished his rookie season with a 3–7 record and a 5.09 ERA.
Carpenter was named the Blue Jays opening day starter in 2002 on April 1 at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox. Carpenter was rocked in his start, pitching 2 1⁄3 innings, allowing six runs, and received a no-decision in Toronto's 12–11 win. Carpenter lasted only three innings in his second start, allowing three runs against the New York Yankees, taking the loss as New York won the game 9–2. Carpenter once again was placed on the disabled list, where he remained until late June. He would once again go back on the disabled list in the middle of August, and remained there for the rest of the season as he had shoulder surgery in September. Carpenter finished the year 4–5 with a 5.28 ERA. At the end of the season, the Blue Jays removed Carpenter from the 40-man roster and offered him a minor league incentive deal, which Carpenter refused, allowing him to become a free agent.
