I recently learned of a major development project planned for the waterfront near where I live. Good or bad, it means that views like this will likely vanish in the coming years, obstructed by new buildings. If an #EndangeredViews hashtag doesn’t exist yet, here’s one — and I’ll try to take as many photos as I can before these views are lost to time. 💔

Nighttime view of the Lower Manhattan skyline from the Red Hook ferry terminal in Brooklyn. At left frame is the red hull of the historic Mary Whalen ship. A string of lights over chain link fencing stretches across the middle frame to a warehouse and some parked vehicles to the right. Beyond the warehouse are two container cranes with raised booms. In the foreground is a dark stretch of pavement with a puddle at lower left, reflecting a glimpse of red ship and sky.
Monochrome nighttime view of the Manhattan skyline and some warehouses along a Brooklyn pier, seen through a chain link fence. A grassy patch in the foreground gives way to the water of the Buttermilk Channel, where the lights of the pier on the far side are reflected in wavy vertical streaks. A container crane lifts its boom into a mostly clear sky with some low clouds.
Monochrome photo of some warehouses on the Brooklyn waterfront with curved J-shaped stacks protruding from the roofs. Beyond is a view of container cranes and the Manhattan skyline under a cloudy sky. In front of the warehouses are a parked truck and a row of traffic barriers. In the foreground at left frame are a weed and part of a chain link fence, both out of focus.
A view of lower Manhattan from a street in Brooklyn near the waterfront. Two container cranes with raised booms stand to the left; the city skyline is to the right. A streetlight arm and power cables stretch across a sky with cumulus clouds and patches of blue. In the foreground are an empty street, a street sign, and some trees.
