This is a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, likely in a public park or city square, given the urban backdrop and the size of the tree. The tree is adorned with colorful lights and a star on top, which is a common tradition during the Christmas season. The surrounding area is also lit up, with lights on the trees and buildings, enhancing the holiday atmosphere. This scene is typical in many cities during the Christmas season, where public spaces are decorated to celebrate the holiday, attracting visitors for festive events, markets, and general merriment.

On Dec. 6, 1917, a 2.9 kiloton explosion in Halifax destroyed every building in an 800-metre radius, killed 1,700 and injured 9,000.
But from the terrible tragedy of The Halifax Explosion came the tradition of the Boston Christmas Tree.

Building Climate Justice: Empowering Communities Through Coastal Resilience at Columbia University A new class in the Undergraduate Program in Sustainable Development aims to educate students on effective climate-adaptation planning through collaboration with community partners.

Lots of folks are introducing themselves here, so here's a bit about me: I do pop geography & hazards data work at CIESIN; I'm into cooking & photography (not together!); live near NYC. I also teach a few courses, like the one described here:
