Rusted and Round

Governor’s Island in New York City’s harbor was originally used as a food source for Native American people, then had incarnations as a hotel and racetrack, a Coast Guard base, and when that closed, it  became a recreation space for New Yorkers, reachable only by ferry.

On the island there are a number of derelict and run down structures, and this image is of a porthole in the rusted side of a lighthouse structure on the west side.
