Summertime in Brooklyn is spectacular. There is even a song about it (by Aloe Blacc)
describing it simply as “the subtleties that only you’ve ever seen.” Photographer Mozes
Victor Konig is hoping to learn more about exactly that. This year he is
gearing up to leave his Tel Aviv studio to take in some of the wonderful sights
in the area. He explained:
“For so many years I’ve heard about Brooklyn in the summer. This year I decided to pack up my camera, rent out my apartment and check it out for myself. I’m very excited about my upcoming trip.”
Konig has many reasons to be excited about this trip. It is a well known fact that New York is full
of a whole slew of fun activities, but what about those highlights which are slightly
off-the-beaten track that hopefully will not be quite as crowded? What kind of advice could we give to an
individual like Konig seeking out Brooklyn’s true “subtleties”?
Attending a Brooklyn Cyclones
baseball game on the boardwalk is a very traditionally-Brooklyn thing to do.
Known as “a single A affiliate of the New York Mets,” the minor league baseball
team is about as Brooklyn as you can get.
While there, if Mozes Victor Konig is not afraid of heights, he should
check out where the team got its namesake from – the Coney Island Cyclone
Roller Coaster.
For nature lovers (and photographers who love to capture
animals), Kensington Stables should make the list as well. Watch kids take pony
rides, teens enjoy horseback riding lessons and more. Simply take in the views of this spectacular
diversion from all that’s buzzing in New York at 51 Caton Place, Kensington.
Konig is right to be excited for his trip. Kensington truly is a wonderful, scenic and
delightful place in the summer and he’ll be sure to hone in on all its
“subtleties.”
