Photos: Inside, Above, And Through The Brooklyn Navy Yard

15 photos

<br/><br/>Nature lovers, architecture aficionados, and history buffs can all find plenty to appreciate inside the Brooklyn Navy Yard, established by John Adams in 1801 and reopened as an industrial park in 1969. Though usually closed to the public, BLDG 92 is offering <strong><a href="http://bldg92.org/events/seasonal-photography-tours-summer/">seasonal photography tours</a></strong> where participants will be shuttled by bus through a series of locations and may photograph at their leisure. And because New Yorkers have retained their <a href="http://http://gothamist.com/2013/06/05/we_win_everything_nyc_is_the_most_c.php">competitive spirit</a> since the days of yore, a professional photographer will choose the top three photos posted to Instagram, with winners receiving a pair of free tickets for any Brooklyn Navy Yard tour. <em>(Alice Severs)</em><br/><br/><em>Saturday, July 20th,11 a.m. to 1 p.m. // <a href="http://bldg92.org/visit/directions/">Brooklyn Navy Yard</a> // <a href="http://turnstiletours.com/tours/brooklyn-navy-yard/#.UctNvD771jZ">Tickets $30</a></em>
