Trees trapped, trees unleashed

Two views from last weekend: a piece going up at Socrates Sculpture Park, trapping a cluster of ​trees, and branches in shadow on a Northern Boulevard building and snaking out into the sky.

Astoria to Randall's Island

On Saturday, I set out on a triborough walk, setting out from Astoria, walking to the Bronx via Randall's Island, and then heading over to Manhattan via the Willis Avenue Bridge. It was a beautiful (if chilly) day, and one of the best parts was happening upon the Randall's Island Salt Marsh, reclaimed wetlands at the Little Hell Gate Inlet.​
