Gowanus Lounge: Serving Brooklyn

Or, Gowanus Canal Ducks Up Close & Personal

December 9th, 2008 · 2 Comments

There are not many things in this world about which we are certain and we think our level of certainty decreases with each passing day. However one thing we know with absolutely certainty that we love are the Gowanus Canal ducks. There is nothing new about the ducks or other wildlife on the Gowanus. It’s just that every time we see them, they put a big smile on our face, no matter how low we might be feeling. That having been said, there were probably a couple of dozen duck on the Gowanus when we shot these photos and they did manage to life our spirits. Though, we always wonder, do they know that Prospect Park isn’t that far away, as the duck flies, so to speak?
