It was a warm, bright day in Brooklyn yesterday; we took a long walk through Prospect Park to go shopping and returned through the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It was enough to make me push today’s planned Picture of the Day into June, and give this space…
In a most improbable feat of natural engineering, a beautiful nearly 200′ (60+ m) waterfall was plopped in the middle of nowhere. At least many would call the rolling grasslands and eroded lava formations of…
Global climate change is on the front pages again, with the release of a new annual report by the U.N.-based International Panel on Climate Change, which reports on the accelerating changes that threaten many aspects of the way we live. A full report…
