Hello fellow Brooklyn artist,
Did you know that from Prospect Park, you can see the Tower of the Empire State Building framed inside and bisecting Defenders Arch in Brooklyn’s Grand Army Plaza?

This goes unnoticed and Building Six of Atlantic Yards will soon eclipse the View.
Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted, artists like you and me, laid the framework of this historic work-in-progress as the Civil War ended, 25 years before the Arch.

I want to raise public awareness in order to protect this historic visual corridor.
If you like the view, you will like the history. http://brooklynmirador.com/
