The City Concealed
Ridgewood Reservoir
Special | 11m 31s
A look at what was once the city of Brooklyn's water supply, now abandoned.
A lake sits surrounded by reeds and two massive basins, each with its own habitat. Dirt paths lined with iron gates from previous centuries surround the basins, but this all hides within a chain-link fence that cuts off access. The fence is a patchwork telling the story of repeated entries with wire cutters. But for the most part the site is empty.
