Brighton Beach & The Boardwalk

This Brighton Beach and Coney Island set was taken in May'12 on my first visit to this suburb of New York City. It's just as I had imagined, a slightly seedy and tired boardwalk and beach plus a Russian community that can make you think you are in an old Soviet back street. All in all a wonderful area and I will be going back as soon as I can.
This set is part of a larger group of photos I took in New York City in May'12. Please take a look at the other new NYC sets.
The music for the slide show is Pipin by Bullitnuts. I've used music by Bullitnuts for all of these latest NYC sets for three reasons, to help link the different sets, because of the band's links to New York, actually they are from Kingston Upon Hull, Yorkshire..... and....well I just like their music......
