The Piano in New York Harbor -
I captured this image of a very 'famous' piano in New York City, when it ended up on the Manhattan side under the Brooklyn Bridge, near the South Street Seaport. This is an excerpt from a NY newspaper:
"A Mason & Hamlin grand piano appeared a few weeks ago in New York City's East River, but how it got there remains a mystery. I have seen some strange things along the East River before. I have never seen a piano, just extraordinary to see that, one man told WNYW Fox 5. He continued, theorizing, My thought is just someone was at a boat and just tossed it into the water."
The non-functioning piano sits upright, perfectly placed on the Manhattan side under the Brooklyn Bridge, leading some to doubt it was a happy accident. "I am thinking either somebody put it here, because in the water, there is no way, you know it could not just float right here, said an onlooker." The mystery continues!
