Broadway is a street best known for the portion that runs through the borough of Manhattan in New York City, it runs 15 miles through Manhattan and The Bronx, exiting north from the city to run an additional 18 miles through the municipalities of Yonkers, Hastings-On-Hudson, Dobbs Ferry, Irvington, Tarrytown and terminating north of Sleepy Hollow in Westchester County.

Broadway was originally the Wickquasgeck Trail, carved into Manhattan by its Native American inhabitants. This trail originally snaked through swamps and rocks along the length of Manhattan Island. It is the oldest north–south main thoroughfare in New York City, dating to the first New Amsterdam settlement. The name Broadway is the English literal translation of the Dutch name, Breede weg.

Fairies Are Real

Fairies Are Real. Once upon a time, and not a great while ago either, there lived in the city of New York ...

The Irish word for fairy is sheehogue \sidhe6g\ a diminutive of "shee" in banshee. Fairies are deenee shee [daotne sidhe] (fairy people).

Who are they ?" Fallen angels who were not good enough to be saved, nor bad enough to be lost," say the peasantry. "The gods of the earth," says the Book of Armagh. "The gods of pagan Ireland," say the Irish antiquarians, "the Tuatha De Dandn, who, when no longer worshipped and fed with offerings, dwindled away in the popular imagination, and now are only a few spans high."

Echinacea coneflowers at Time Landscape

Tweet

Late July in Greenwich Village, New York City at the northeast corner of La Guardia Place and West Houston Street. Nine species of coneflowers and i think they were all here at Time Landscape, a living art recreation of Manhattan in the early 17th century. :)

Echinacea is a genus, or group of herbaceous flowering plants in the daisy family, Asteraceae. The nine species it contains are commonly called coneflowers.

Time Landscape - Landscape artist Alan Sonfist created Time Landscape as a living monument to the forest that once covered Manhattan. He proposed the project in 1965, after research on New York’s botany, geology, and history Sonfist and local community members used native trees, shrubs, wild grasses, flowers, plants, rocks, and earth to plant the plot at the northeast corner of La Guardia Place and West Houston Street in 1978. The results are a slowly developing forest that represents the Manhattan landscape in the early 17th century.

Heinkel He 111 medium bomber

The CASA 2.111 was a medium bomber derived from the Heinkel He 111 and produced in Spain by Construcciones Aeronauticas SA. Following the Spanish Civil War, the Spanish Air Force received a number of He 111Bs from Germany. However, there was a need for more modern aircraft with increased armament, and CASA negotiated a contract with Heinkel in 1940 to produce the newer He 111H-16.

DAYTON, Ohio -- CASA 2.111H (Spanish HE-111H) is currently in storage at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. (U.S. Air Force photo) Donated by the Spanish Air Force.
