Coney Island In Winter

[wlotus]

As soon as I realized a major snowstorm was coming, I desired to go to Coney Island to photograph the place in the snow. I had been meaning to visit since Astroland closed, so I could get some shots of the now deserted area, so the snow was a perfect excuse to go. Besides, I have never been on a beach with snow. How could I resist?


The Wonder Wheel, Astroland Observation Tower, and Cyclone as seen from Steeplechase Pier.

The beach and boardwalk were all but deserted.


A hearty soul adds a few touches to a snowman on the beach.


The snowman watches the surf.


An unused sprinkler.


A seatless Wonder Wheel idles over the abandoned amusement park.

The fishermen were out, though!


Fishermen wait patiently on Steeplechase Pier for a catch.

We will not comment on the snowman with the boner. No, we shall not. ;-)

I love these photographs. Especially the beach scenes.

I like the contrast between what we expect to find on a beach (sand, surf, palm trees...even fake ones) and snow!
