Ode to Coney

I recently noticed a long time favorite piece of inspiration of mine was Coney Island. I look at this picture almost every day and didn't even know what it was. I don't even know who made it. I just knew that it was beautiful and I wanted it to be a part of my life. I call it the Ode to Coney.(below)



Being in New York, I noticed what the F train was and figured out that it goes to Coney Island. From that moment on, I knew I had to go there. Even if I had to go alone.

On Friday, I went. I rode the train there, and found the intersection, Stillwell and Surf. It looked like the picture did, kind of. I think I was going there in hopes of finding something. Some kind of destiny or something. A dude, a place, I don't know what I was looking for.

I took a few pictures of the intersection, and then decided to explore the island a bit. I walked the beach, and the boardwalk, and then I went to Nathan's, and had a famous corn dog. Listened to a guy sweeping the stairs talk about how much he hates his boss.

I walked some more. Although I wasn't too sure what I was looking for, I kept walking. Eventually I ended up back at Surf and Stillwell. Looked again, and still didn't see anything. Nothing that I was looking for?

Anyway. I still feel like there's something there for me. And maybe I'll go back one day. Meh.

Oh well this was my tribute to 'Ode to Coney.'



I love it.
