We drove down this road randomly and saw this--then found out you can stay here OVERNIGHT for ghost hunts. We're SO going back!
On June 18, 2015, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio held a press conference to announce that all of Central Park's loop north of 72nd street as well as Prospect Park's west-drive will soon be car-free and reserved solely for recreation. Here’s to safer, healthier, and car-free parks!
Shot in Dungeness E Sussex, Derek Jarman's Cottage; Prospect
Derek Jarman was an English film director, stage designer, artist, and writer.
Jarman's work broke new ground in creating and expanding the fledgling form of 'the pop video' in England, and as a forthright and prominent gay rights activist. Several volumes of his diaries have been published.
Jarman also directed the 1989 tour by the UK duo Pet Shop Boys. By pop concert standards this was a highly theatrical event with costume and specially shot films accompanying the individual songs. Jarman was the stage director of Sylvano Bussotti's opera L'Ispirazione, first staged in Florence in 1998.
He is also remembered for his famous shingle cottage-garden, created in the latter years of his life, in the shadow of the Dungeness power station. The house was built in tarred timber. Raised wooden text on the side of the cottage is the first stanza and the last five lines of the last stanza of John Donne's poem, The Sun Rising. The cottage's beach garden was made using local materials and has been the subject of several books. At this time, Jarman also began painting again (see the book: Evil Queen: The Last Paintings, 1994).
Jarman was the author of several books including his autobiography Dancing Ledge, a collection of poetry A Finger in the Fishes Mouth, two volumes of diaries Modern Nature and Smiling In Slow Motion and two treatises on his work in film and art The Last of England (also published as Kicking the Pricks) and Chroma. Other notable published works include film scripts (Up in the Air, Blue, War Requiem, Caravaggio, Queer Edward II and Wittgenstein: The Terry Eagleton Script/The Derek Jarman Film), a study of his garden at Dungeness Derek Jarman's Garden, and At Your Own Risk, a defiant celebration of gay sexuality.
The girl in the middle was so wasted that the two other girls in orange had to help hold her up. It was 4:50 in the afternoon. I miss college!
It's taken about 18 months or so, but Prospect Farm is really making food. I didn't even take my full share! cantaloupealone.blogspot.com/2011/07/ditmas-park-week-4-p...

Deep inside Prospect Park is a small ravine with a stream and waterfall. Not the typical image of New York City.
