Greenwich Village Doors

A mixed collection of doors in Greenwich Village, New York City.

For Thursday Doors hosted by Dan. His door posting is More From Iowa – No Facilities

Greenbrook

We stopped briefly at our favorite little nature sanctuary. Walked to the cliffs and said hello to the turkeys.

State Line Lookout

We spent the day in New Jersey going to parks, dining, and shopping. These are photographs after the storm taken at the State Line Lookout | Palisades Interstate Park in New Jersey. (the link has more information). It was out first time there. Intersting history and lovely views of the Hudson River from the Palisades.

Hudson River

Marc walks along the Hudson River to and from the garage at Pier 40 where we park our car. Here are some of his photographs.

Tiffany & Co Windows

I love sea life. These aquatic cloth and wire creations in Tiffany’s windows in Midtown, Manhattan, are so well done.

Sandy Hook Flora

As part of the littoral picnic one of the activities was to go on a walk to study plants by the shore. Alex and Zi showed us many plants. Sandy Hook’s ecology is part of the Pine Barrens which where there before the glaciers. Atlantic coastal pine barrens – Wikipedia

Between 170–200 million years ago, the Atlantic coastal plain began to form.
The Barrens formed in the southernmost and newest land area in New Jersey 1.8 to 65 million years ago, during the Tertiary era.
Over millions of years, the rising and falling of the coastline deposited minerals underground, culminating with the end of the last ice age about 12,000 years ago, when plants and trees began growing in what is now New Jersey.
Forest fires have been a common occurrence before habitation by humans. Fire has played a major ecological role in the Pinelands, and the ecotypes “suggest that short fire intervals may have been typical in the Pine Plains for many centuries, or millennia.”
