Brooklyn from the air

Yesterday I flew into LGA. Since there were high winds the pilot came from the southwest as opposed to coming in from the east like the usually do when landing at LGA. This provided me for a tour of Brooklyn I have never had before. Because of the high winds we flew really low and I saw Brooklyn and parts of Queens from above, it was really interesting. We came in from just west of Coney Island and crossed through Brooklyn. I could actually see people and recognized streets and buildings, lots and lots of buildings. The only greenery I saw were the cemeteries. From the air Brooklyn really does look like a jungle of brick.
