Hackensack Discussion / June 18 girls football at the Middle School
« Last post by BLeafe on June 30, 2023, 10:50:05 AM »
Youthful voices coming from the direction of the Middle School on a Sunday morning (June 18)? Gotta be Girls' Flag Football.

From my position a block and a half away, I could only see the western portion of the field when a team was back near their own goal line.

1. Is that football on a tee?

2. Next lesson: the rules of being onside at the snap

3. Speaking of snaps............

4. Who cares about tight spirals when they're just having fun?

And I hope they had a LOT of fun!

Photography...........the way I see it (Moderated by BLeafe) / Adieu to Cherished Views
« Last post by BLeafe on June 16, 2023, 11:40:00 AM »
I've lost some very nice views from home over the years - the Bergen County Courthouse, the entire Kipps Bend section of the Hackensack River - and "progress" is about to take two more cherished views: one internationally-known and one local...........both "courtesy" of the project bordered by Main St, Berry St, State St and Camden St (MBSC).

I've made blowups of both, so click each to fully-enlarge and then start scrolling laterally.

1. The first one - and most heartbreaking to lose - is the World Trade Center. Here's where things stand now.

2. The second is the very distinctive cupola of the Johnson Public Library. The addition of one more floor oughta kill that view.

Looking at that picture, it appears that I've been spotted by the worker in the white hard hat. But that's not very likely when you look at the third picture.

This is a very wide PANO shot that shows the red-circled living room window where I shoot from on the left and the tall MBSC crane on the far right, so unless he's got the eyes of a hawk.................

Hackensack Discussion / Re: My favorite paper is not having a good day
« Last post by BLeafe on June 12, 2023, 10:00:04 AM »
The Record is really screwing up the print editions these days. One day, they had one comics page in color and the other one in B&W.

But they're not doing themselves any favors with making some ads color and some B&W.

In today's paper, there was a full page ad for sleep chairs. Online, these chairs cost $2,000 each, so I would think the seller would want everything just right in their newspaper ads.

The first pic shows the ad.............uh, oh - B&W! But the kicker is in the bottom right corner (second pic - click to enlarge).

I don't know about you, but I'm kinda torn between the burgundy, the chocolate and the blue.

Hackensack Discussion / My apartment smells like burnt Canadian trees
« Last post by BLeafe on June 08, 2023, 06:20:41 PM »
Today's not as bad as yesterday, but.............yikes!

These pictures were all taken from home yesterday.

1. The sun over Sears against beautiful (cough, cough) gray skies.

2. A closeup of the sun shows a couple of sunspots.

3,4,5. The sun struggles through the haze to illuminate small parts of cars.

6. You can barely see the hospital and the high rises in this 3-image orange photo stitch.

Hackensack Discussion / Fridays's rain, hail and lightning in Hackensack and Manhattan
« Last post by BLeafe on June 05, 2023, 11:07:18 AM »
1. Somebody got caught off-guard........

2. The video:


3. The Manhattan lightning strikes.........

4. I found an online post and pic about lightning striking the Chrysler Building yesterday. This may actually be the second bolt you see in the above lightning strikes. That one definitely hit something and appears to be bouncing off it.

5. These two images show the construction site bordered by Main, Berry, State and Camden streets and - as it says on the pic, they were taken 8 minutes apart.


Anybody got any storm or hail damage pix from Friday?
