I know I’ve been featuring Flickr faves all week exclusively from last weekend’s Gowanus shoot, but I just can’t help it. There were so many wonderful shots submitted! The next theme surfacing is obvious enough; much of the area around the Gowanus canal is fenced. However apparent, I think it serves as an interesting study in the ownership of public spaces (and as an interesting topic in the larger debate of Superfund status designations).

So, whether we’re being fenced out of the area, or the canal is being fenced in to protect from further damage, the fences play a huge part in the Gowanus identity. Check out the wonderful shots below for an exploration of this theme!
