fort tilden

​What was once a military fort on a peninsula in Queens is now a canvas for anyone with a can of spray paint. Fort Tilden may have been first transformed into houses and buildings, but Hurricane Sandy turned them into sandboxes. It all seemed serene until I stepped foot inside and saw the scattered hypodermic needles buried below the surface.
