Thunderstorm Mode??!!
In the comments on our previous post, we had some discussion about the lighting colors and mentioned that our high-tech lighting system offers a range of colors and includes unique features like Thunderstorm mode. This mode creates lightning effects, mimicking storms over the ocean. We received multiple requests to see it in action, so here’s a short video of a brand new aquarium (just got first batch of fish) capturing the Thunderstorm mode!

Francie Scanlon - "I am Preservation"
As we continue to celebrate our 50th anniversary we are highlighting a video series called “I am Preservation” to exhibit the widespread love of landmarks throughout New York City. We want to show how important historic preservation is to so many people.
Please join in the celebration and send us your video. We will post clips throughout the rest of the year on our many social media platforms.
TIPS for making your own “I am Preservation” video.
Say your name, and if you like, the neighborhood that you live in.
Briefly comment on what you love about New York City
landmarks or a specific historic building, place, or structure.
And, finish by saying “I am Preservation!”
Film in landscape mode (hold smartphone horizontally)
If you can’t film yourself, maybe have a friend film you in front of a landmark or your favorite historic building or structure.
Be aware of your surroundings (street-level noise, etc.)
Check your lighting. If possible, you don’t want to be in an area that is too dark or too bright.
Set up your shot (minimize things that might be distracting on screen) We are looking for short clips. Thirty seconds at maximum.
Make eye contact, don’t forget to smile.
Speak up and enunciate your words. We want viewers to hear you.
Send your finished video clips to photos@nylandmarks.org
Have fun!

To the Moon!
In this episode, Bronwyn Williams speaks to theoretical physicist Dr. Adriana Marais. They discuss her plans to launch Africa's inaugural mission to the moon, how exploring uncharted territories breeds new ways of thinking and technological innovation, the phenomenon of resource extraction in space, the idea of colonizing Mars, and how space exploration can provide us with a sense of wonder and much-needed perspective.

Starting today, I will be sharing a daily photo capturing my perspective of everyday life. I cannot predict its duration, but I aim to sustain it for a year. Hopefully, this practice will help me stay sharp and offer you, the viewer, a glimpse into the daily wonders witnessed through my eyes on this remarkable planet!
Day 1.
Here is one of my "Blitzscape Series" titled "Blitzscape 1 with bones and flower." It is a montage using an x-ray of a broken femur and images of an orchid imposed over a landscape. It seems ,to me, like a rainbow. What do you think? You can see more of this series at:
