New York City Is A Man-made Delight

The Big Apple is more than amazing skyscrapers built with leading edge architecture and technology. The man-made wonders of this city reach into to the depths of the earth and into the heart of nature. Instead of sitting back and basking in the unique contributions they have made to the world, New Yorkers continue to push the boundaries of the extraordinary.

Central Park is one of the greatest man-made developments in history and it was the first landscaped public park in the United States. Leave it to New York to take a swamp and rocky terrain and transform it into some of the most wonderful city park land in the world.

It took 3 million cubic yards of soil, more gunpowder than was used in the Battle of Gettysburg, the moving of 3 million cubic yards of soil, planting of 270,000 trees and shrubs and around 20,000 workers to make the park come to life. Even the water ways are purely designed and developed by man.

Hoffman Island and Swinburne Island are two more “natural” fixtures that were created by New Yorkers. In 1870, the city dumped tones of rock, sand and timbers into New York Harbor to construct the islands. Swinburne was used for a hospital to treat infectious diseases and Hoffman was used as quarantine for those who were exposed to the diseases by not showing symptoms.

Today, both of these islands are under the control of the US National Parks Service and are part of the Gateway National Recreation Area. They serve as sanctuaries for hundreds of waterfowl and are not open to humans.

Fresh Kills Landfill is a now-closed landfill on Staten Island. For 5 years, from 2001 to 2006, the City of New York worked one a master plan to transform the distraction into an attraction.

Leave it to New York to take trash and make it in to treasure. Fresh Kills landfill site is now home to four major habitats: breeding sites, foraging areas, freshwater marshes and wooded swamps. The 2,200 acre site is made up of four landfill mounds is being developed into an ecologically robust landscape and is one of the most ambitious projects for creating settings for recreation, public art, and facilities for sports and other programs.

There is so much wonder in New York and more is being added on the time. Right now, an art project is in the works that will erect 4 massive waterfalls through out the city (including one off of the Brooklyn Bridge). Although these masterpieces will only be around for a few months, most of the man-made wonders in New York are here to stay.

Morgan Falls On The Chattahoochee River

categories: Recreation

The Morgan Falls area on the Chattahoochee River provides an opportunity for visitors to enjoy nature in the midst of a large urban area. The recreational activities available here offer a respite from Atlantas noise and traffic. The City of Sandy Springs, the federal government, and Georgia Power all offer outdoor recreational facilities in the Morgan Falls area, just north of Atlantas perimeter.

Morgan Falls Dam was constructed on the Chattahoochee River from 1901-03. The small dam and hydroelectric plant provided the power to run Atlantas streetcars. The scenic reservoir which formed behind the dam was named Bull Sluice Lake. Its calm backwaters and sloughs immediately provided an excellent fishing area. Today the dam and power plant are owned by Georgia Power, which has recently constructed a new fishing pier below the dam. It offers a great place to fish for trout, which are stocked by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. Anglers may also catch bass, bream, and channel catfish. The dam is accessed off Morgan Falls Road.

The City of Sandy Springs has developed a new park in the area. Overlook Park at Morgan Falls is located at 200 Morgan Falls Road, along the shores of Bull Sluice Lake. A recently completed .75 mile walking trail leads visitors through hardwood and pine forest and offers scenic views of the lake and river. There are trailheads next to the parking area and behind the events pavilion. While clearing the land for the park, the city discovered an old home site on the bluff overlooking the lake. An archaeological survey of the area revealed that the home site dated to 1839 and belonged to William Power, an early settler in the area. A road trace leads down to the river where the Power family once operated a ferry crossing, the Upper Powers Ferry. Today the home site is marked by two stacked stone chimneys, one standing in good condition and the other substantially collapsed. Overlook Park also contains a playground, picnic area, and a dock for canoes and kayaks. No swimming is allowed in the lake.

The Gold Branch Unit of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is located on Lower Roswell Road at Morgan Falls. This park contains a picnic area and several miles of hiking trails bordering the Chattahoochee River and Bull Sluice Lake. There is a $3 daily use fee at the park.
The Morgan Falls area is located in the north end of the City of Sandy Springs, a northern suburb of Atlanta. These parks along the river and Bull Sluice Lake allow users to enjoy a bit of nature without leaving metro Atlanta.

For teens, this kind of recreation has received a lot of attention among parents, psychiatrists, psychologists, organizations, and media. Too much gaming has become an issue and a problem most parents are facing. Though this kind of addiction is not a mental disorder, yet it is alarming because of potential health risks. As such, guidance is always advised to parents or guardians.

Teenagers feel like they are becoming the head of the game because they can control everything. They also feel like they are powerful, strong, and tough in all sorts of interaction they are making. They feel a sense of excitement, thrill, and challenge. Overall, this has become their alternative way of combating stress and expressing their emotions and feelings.

Also, teens use gaming as a way to relax from hard days in school. They feel rewarded every time they have succeeded and accomplished something. Playing on weekends or after-school can give them several hours of play and non-stop activity.

Gaming is becoming a tool for procrastination. It isn’t just for teens or kids. Even adults are getting hooked on it. The average age of players among adults is 35. It isn’t just for individuals, but is also a great way to bring people together. CIIT students are able to bond with other individuals and interact with them by sharing their gaming experiences and ideas.
