When I was a teenager, I was a counselor in a camp in the Greenbelt, but since then, I never really spent any time there. So, when I was on Staten Island on Mother’s Day, I decided to stop by the Greenbelt and take some photos.
I love taking photos that, when viewed, makes the viewer say “That’s in New York City ?!” NYC is well known for its towers of steel and glass, its iconic landmarks and rich cultural history. But there is so much natural beauty in the city as well, and I love trying to find it and show that beauty to anyone who is willing to see it.
The Greenbelt is a fairly big place, and I only got to check out one trail. Suffice it to say, I’ll be back there in the future to capture more of it.
