Brooklyn

I went for dinner to Brooklyn today to my friend Murray's house (Murray is an Australian gay mathematician, a very funny guy). Brooklyn is one of the five boroughs of the city of New York, which is special for its traditional way of life, far away from the idea people have of New York, and immortalized in movies like "Smoke". Where Manhattan is the land of skyscrapers, suits and tourists, in Brooklyn there are brownstones, neighborhood stores and normal people. Houses even have backyards. Here is a picture of Murray's backyard and the houses surrounding it.
