Yesterday, in the middle of the crazy snow storm, our photography professor sent us all out to take more pictures for class. A few of my buddies and I went out to Coney Island to shoot it in the storm. By the time we got all the way out there and stopped at the original Nathan's Famous for lunch, the snow had stopped and some cloudy sun came out. I was looking forward to dreary, grey, snowfall pictures of the site, but the light was a nice consolation. The strip and the boardwalk are incredible. I wish that I could go back in time eighty years and hang out there. Like this girl...
It was amazing yesterday. Mid-winter, after a snowstorm no less, it was so quiet and deserted. Here are some of my shots, mixed with some touristy ones for you too.

love the ferris wheel picture. i bet it's a neat place - would be even neater back in it's hey-day (sp?).
Like your pics of the snow on the CI Boardwalk. But I have a correction. Speaking of the Roller Rink. That Building is a historical Building known as "Childs Restaurant" where they had dinner , theater and more . The Roller RInk is new inside - this summer will be it's third year of running. The Rink opens end of April and runs thru Mid Nov. They do not have heat which is why they can't open in winter .
Thanks for the correction. The roller rink signs looked a little more modern than the building now that I think about it. Googling "Childs Restaurant" brought up a lot about the preservation of that building. It's really beautiful.

Nice photos ! Would love to go there sometime. It's where Grandma and Aunt Helen hung out in the summer!
