Cinza's conversations
Captain, LASH ships are pretty much gone except for military use are they not? There seem to be a few in U.S. military usage. They seem to have vanished in commercial service. Do you know of any operating now?

Great shot of one of my favorite "fantasy" buildings. It was a rather drab, deeper green when I first saw it decades ago. Looks bright and well kept now.

November's early darkness is settling in the Enid A. Haupt Garden with a bit of sun lighting the tops of buildings. American Holly trees are full of red berries visible on close examination. The hanging baskets on the lamp standards are rapidly fading and the season's first frost forecast for later in the night may finish them.

Fall chill and early darkness is setting in, the Sackler is minutes from closing and all is quiet in the Enid Haupt Garden. For a view with the trees in flower see Smithsonian Castle Tower and Japanese Magnolia.

Yes, JFK is showing its age and scattered design. The only building I have any attachment to there is the old TWA Terminal. The rest I have always considered "a mess" much as I do LAX (Los Angeles), another airport with many scattered buildings. Those all date from the days when the great lines each built their terminals. TWA built a number of terminals with such architecture, one in old Washington National. That was my "home" airport for years and I loved the TWA terminal there. My first trips to Europe were TWA from DCA through that one at JFK. Both caught a feel for the early jet age with people dressing up and catching the 707s. Come to think of it, my only pleasant memories of JFK are waiting in the night at the bar for the late evening departures for Europe.

The building was completed in 1931 and renovated in 1980.

A blazing maple by the National Zoo's O Line. The tower and cables to the left are part of the "Orangutan Transport System" that allows free movement between buildings. No orangutans were out enjoying the day on their high transport system.
