Brooklyn Beat of Deep in the Heart of Brooklyn wrote this inspiring post yesterday, a gorgeous autumn day.

An amazing day in Brooklyn Heights. The graceful rays of the autumn
sun, the air temperature just perfect, brought out the lunchtime crowds
to the Tuesday Greenmarket on Cadman Plaza near Brooklyn Borough Hall
and the Supreme Court Building. Tomatoes, fruits, flowers, dozens of
types of fresh fall apples (with many to sample), baked goods, and of
course, pumpkins and gourds as a reminder that autumn is here. The
crowds are quiet, almost contemplative, of nature’s bounty and the
pleasure of a Fall afternoon. I don’t always get out of the office at
lunchtime, although I know I should. But a fantastic day like this,
almost lets you forget for a moment, almost, about politics, economics,
and the like, and just revel in the simple pleasure of being another
working stiff on a lunch break, on a lovely day, surrounded by natural
colors, in Brooklyn Heights, New York.
