Coney Island In Winter

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 beach and boardwalk were all but deserted.

The fishermen were out, though!
