A Closer Look at the PS 110 Owls

Blog: Scouting NY - 4 November 2009

By: Scout

A few weeks ago, I wrote about PS 110, an elementary school located just south of the Williamsburg Bridge…

…whose roof is lined with a number of really great stone owls (a parliament of owls, to use the correct phrasing!).

I notice the owls every time I cross the Williamsburg Bridge, and I mentioned in the post that I’d love to take a look at them up close. As it happens, the principal of the school saw my post and generously invited me to visit the roof. I took a ton of pictures – the following are my favorites. For anyone who’s ever wondered about the PS 110 owls…Enjoy!

PS 110 also has some great views of the Williamsburg Bridge, and for any production or shoot interested, I’m sure the principal would consider proposals.

Finally, looking back at the three usual vantage points I have of the owls (driving, biking, subway):
