For the first time in a year I was able to revisit the beautiful former World Fair grounds of Flushing-Corona Park. I took the long trek out and arrived at around 3:30. I walked around the grounds, stepping on crunched up ice from the day before.

The globe was surrounded by the work of the Chinese activist/artist Al Wei Wei. It was his project called “Good Fences Make Good Neighbors,” which was about how fences dictate much of America. Whether it be in prisons, the proposition of “The Wall”, or the fences we use to separate ourselves from our neighbors. It is about division and coming together, an amazing concept that is needed in our current political situation.

Afterwards I went to the nearby Queens Museum and explored the new exhibits, before going back outside to photograph the sunset against the globe. It was absolutely gorgeous and I was happy to be able to capture all of it on an actual camera. My boyfriend had let me use his since mine is still being fixed.

it was an overall great trip and I hope to visit again soon.

All pictures captured on the Nikon D3300.
