The Bulb

So the weather here hasn't really changed much from two months ago. Aside from the absence of rain and rainbows, the mercury has been pretty stagnant, which I think is really odd because in Chicago there are 5-10 degree differences every month. The rainbow below was from a field trip on a rainy day to the Albany Bulb, a landfill that is now used as a park.
It used to be a dumping ground for construction debris and rebar, but some sort of lawsuit stopped that. So today it's a park and wetland habitat. Because of all the debris, a lot of urban art has been constructed (above). Some people call it garbage, others call it inspiration. It's also a popular dog park and there's a homeless community somewhere in there. It's not very strictly regulated by any sort of authority, so the community gets free reign as you can tell by the art and inhabitants.
