SketchCrawl #24 - Governors Island

This time, the NYC group chose Governors Island as the SketchCrawl venue. The weather could not have been more perfect!!
Before heading down there for the SketchCrawl meet-up near Castle Williams, stopped at Republic on Union Square for some pad thai. Sketched the view looking north toward 18th Street while waiting:

Since M had brought along his folding bike, we rode with the bicyclists on the ferry going over to Governors Island. The boat was packed with people and their two-wheelers:

There was a festival on the island. These sculptures loomed over the tents and people:

I set up my folding stool in a patch of shade near Castle Williams and sketched the view of the Manhattan skyline beyond:

As I took the ferry back to Manhattan, I sketched the bright red structure above the ferry dock:

It was a very fun SketchCrawl day indeed!
