My view in New York City: I live in northern Manhattan, which has some proper forested parks. Circa 2013.
My view in northern New Jersey/Fair Lawn: A bit suburban, but very nice parks. Circa 2021.
My view at Penn State: silos and an obscenely large stadium. Here I played softball with the Geography Department's team, the Bad Latitudes, while working on my Ph.D. Circa 2010.
My view at Northeastern: skyscrapers. This is from on top of a building but I got roughly the same view from the computer lab where I often worked on my M.S. Circa 2004.
My view as an undergrad at the University of Rochester: Rush Rhees Library viewed from Wilson Commons. I spent many hours there involved in student activities when arguably I should have been studying. Circa 2001 (photo taken 2009).
My view growing up in Pittsburgh: The school in Regent Square viewed from Frick Park, now the popular Environmental Charter School. I never attended the school but played quite a lot of hockey in its playground. Circa 1995 (photo taken 2009).
