Here is a drawing of Brooklyn in the morning, as people walk across the bridge to Manhattan for work. Contrasting that, is Brooklyn in the afternoon, with people jumping in the pool, and shooting hoops.
"... I too lived, Brooklyn of ample hills as mine..." (Walt Whitman, Crossing Brooklyn Ferry, 1856)
Whitman first published the poem under the title "Sun Down Poem".
Here is an image of people sitting on the roof during a sunset. In contrast a man is sitting at night outside his brownstone apartment, eating an ice cream.
"... What is it then between us?
What is the count of the scores or hundreds of years between us?
Whatever it is, it avails not -- distance avails not, and place avails not,
I too live, Brooklyn of ample hills was mine...." (Walt Whitman, Crossing Brooklyn Ferry, 1856)
