Map from Wandrer.earth showing my cycling coverage in Brooklyn, New York. Streets I’ve biked are marked in blue, while untraveled streets are marked in red. The map shows over 90% of streets in Brooklyn covered in blue, with some red areas remaining, especially in southern and eastern parts of the borough.
A misty shoreline at Shirley Chisholm State Park, Brooklyn, NY, on 16 March 2025. The tide is out, exposing wet sand and shallow tidal pools along the water’s edge. Small waves lap at the shore, while a lone gull stands in the water. The beach is lined with rocks and a strip of dried grass leading up to a hill, where leafless trees and patches of brown vegetation stand. The overcast sky casts a muted tone over the scene.

English: A illustration of a festive scene featuring a group of red-capped Scandinavian gnomes (“tomtar”) marching in the snow against a backdrop of a sunset and evergreen trees. Each gnome is holding or playing something: the first three hold banners that read “Hälsa” (Health), “Glädje” (Joy), and “Lycka” (Happiness). Other gnomes play drums and brass instruments. The phrase “Gott Nytt År” (Happy New Year) is written in red script at the top right corner. The gnomes wear red hats, mittens, and trousers with brown shirts, exuding a cheerful and festive atmosphere. Svenska: En illustration av en grupp tomtar som marscherar i ett vinterlandskap med en solnedgång och granar i bakgrunden. De tre första tomtarna håller banderoller med texten ”Hälsa”, ”Glädje” och ”Lycka”. Bakom dem spelar andra tomtar trumma och blåsinstrument. Alla tomtar bär röda luvor, vantar och byxor samt bruna skjortor. Texten ”Gott Nytt År” står i röd skrivstil i det övre högra hörnet. Bilden förmedlar en glad och festlig nyårsstämning.
