“bits to use in everyday conversations”

As snow falls on New York City, we’re looking back to 1946, when artist Belmore Browne put the finishing touches on the background painting of the Museum’s snowswept Mountain Goat Diorama. 

Did you know that each of the Museum’s dioramas depicts a real location at a particular time of day? The views are painstakingly recreated from paintings, photographs, data, and specimens collected in the field. This diorama shows a herd of mountain goats in Tongass National Forest, Alaska. Standing where these goats are, you would hear more than see this glacier moving—a creaking as the ice strains down the valleys, and a booming crack when the leading edge breaks off into the fjord. 

Today, Alaska’s glaciers are noisier than ever, disintegrating faster than they were when this background was painted in 1946. Climate change is causing severe melting at Alaska’s steep southern coast and other icy landscapes worldwide. If this scene were painted today, the glacier’s edge would be much more distant.

OP, this is genuinely a masterpiece, three poems in one, moving and well crafted. Please tell me you have submitted it to at least some poetry contests, and if not, please do so.

do you think they know how much they contributed to online literacy? to the spirit of curiousity? to the idea of doing research yourself instead of always having it laid out in front of you?

holding back an amused "I love you" after someone makes a really good personal comment or joke is like making the move for your sheathed blade and stopping midway through

[ntrider]

this is a normal comparison indicative of healthy relationship with the concept of love
