Pictures are where you find the. Sometimes an ugly scene can become a nice shot. The Newtown Creek in Queens is very polluted and is situated in a rather unpleasant area. However, with the right light, reflections and composition a decent image can come out.

 

The Newtown Creek inQueens, NYC. Despite it's po;ution and thus it's bad reputation, this photo makes it almost look romantic. 

Where you least expect

Photos are all over; just keep your eyes open. The Newtown Creek is one of the most polluted body of water anywhere. Nevertheless, right under I 495, I noted this very colorful building that contrasted with the brownish water of the creek. Go figure.
