This is the 5th day in New York City. We went to Brooklyn Bridge Park in the morning and viewed pier 1-6. The park is elegant and very quiet. The design to reduce the noise to effective and really beneficial. After that we headed for prospective park and Brooklyn Botanical Garden. I really like the botanical garden. The design and the plant there are amazing. It is rainy today, and I feel the garden looks even better in the rain. Colors are so blended and fluent. It is peaceful to walk in the rain around plants. It makes me feel far away from city area! I took several videos through the way, both in Brooklyn Bridge Park and botanical garden.

The two videos below are taken at Brooklyn Bridge park at the same location. One is focusing on Manhattan side of the river and the other is focusing at the scene in the park. It is interesting to see the comparison of them. Busy roads versus peaceful park people running by, it is same place looking at different views. In the video of the park view, the Manhattan side is like a background. In the other one, it is the focus. And also in both videos there is ship going through as a reference to both.
Another video I would like to share is about two sleepy ducks taking a shower in the rain! It is really funny! Hope you like it too!
