four freedoms park

today i went on an adventure to roosevelt island to see the newly opened four freedoms park.  i wanted to do some exploring and it was fun to have a destination in mind.  plus, you know, HURRICANE'S A-COMING, so i wanted to get outside before the four days of rain that are being predicted.

view of manhattan (the weird rectangular building is the UN) from roosevelt island:

new baby trees at the FDR memorial:

the memorial is really simple, but the views from the memorial are gorgeous.  i like that idea: to allow people to appreciate FDR in a place where they can also appreciate the world around them.

CREEPY SMALLPOX HOSPITAL on the island:

i am a creepy hospital:
