More houseboats!

23/365

I'm really fascinated with the Gowanus Canal, that cuts into Brooklyn. There are major efforts to make it a superfund (meaning it's got tons of contaminants) sight and it usually smells and foams like it should be one. Craig and I took Shep on a journey to retrieve our freshly sharpened knives from a shop in another neighborhood (Cook's Companion on Atlatnic for the locals wondering where to go). Coming home we crossed a bridge on Carroll Street, where this photo was taken from, that I was totally unaware of. It is tiny and hardly has any traffic which means it's a good bike route over the Gowanus. I'm curious about who owns these houseboats and if they live in them.

Oh, and for you Brooklynites, those are taco trucks and the like parked in the lot on the left. Just go hang out on Bond near Carroll if you want to stalk them.
