A walk around NYC's most skinny-jean wearing latte-sipping neighborhood; taken last Saturday. Though super skinny jeans was more the hipster fashion there 10 years ago and the hipsters have scattered across Brooklyn to cheaper places. Nice day in the mid 70s. Getting of the subway station, area seemed like it was more old NYC than hipster NYC; fairly hispanic area. First sign I was somewhere different:  Big squirrel here  pre-gentrification business    East River waterfront filled with new condo buildings; reminded me of Vancouver; look Vancouver-ish 🖕🏿Mörön🖕🏿? Or maybe just outside Chicago's downtown. Relaxing spot on one of the few warm spring days  a bit of haze on the horizon for some reason; colder days have looked clearer  robots will kill  waterfront used to just be small warehouses  McCarren Park. Hopefully more green now   |

Last pic and 3rd pic from the end have a UK feel to them.

Small creek  Flooded creek  Poor swans thought they'd find lakes here; I mean it's soon May. Alas. The only water on that lake is from snow melting on top of the ice.  |

Lol those first three images don't nearly look like they're in Sweden. Maybe Öland/Gotland but not Göteborg. Btw, would all the trees in those pictures be fully green by this time most years?

Went to a "Rhythm & Brews" festival yesterday in Haddon Heights, NJ. They had live music and two blocks of food & drink vendors. The beer vendors were all local craft breweries. It was nice.   |

It could look like parts of England in the middle of a cold winter, but the trees are the wrong species. England would be full of pines, gorse and broom in areas like that. |

The last photo could look like somewhere in the Northeastern US. |

There's a much larger difference between Gothenburg and Turku than Umeå and Turku, and we get our leaves during the second week of May. |

Gothenburg's April means are 2C warmer than Turku and Turku's means are 2.4C warmer than Umeå's. And if Umeå get its leaves 7-10 days after Turku, isn't it quite logical to think that Gothenburg gets their 7 days earlier than Turku? Lithuania is literally bursting into leaf as we speak. Vilnius:  Kaunas:  Both are 1C warmer than Gothenburg in April. |

Vilnius: Kaunas: Both are 1C warmer than Gothenburg in April. March and even February matter too lol. If only April mattered they'd have leaves already since April has been above average this year. And May 20 is the average of a bunch of selected trees in a forest for having 2cm long leaves. Park trees are generally up to a week earlier than forests. @kronan |
