Late Summer Dragons. Midtown Manhattan
2005 was a bumper year for Swamp Darners. This summer, even as late as September, they could be found in droves all over Manhattan, especially hawking for insects as high as the 20th floor or more of city buildings. This three-inch long individual flew into NNYN offices in midtown - the time for a brief photo shoot. Swamp darners breed in local salt marshes, like those of Jamaica Bay.
About Our Art Prints
Signed art prints donated by three extraordinary artists are available for purchase in our art prints store, to support the programs we are engaged in. The prints include, among others, "Last Turn Your Turn" created by Robert Rauschenberg for the Earth Summit, Christo sketches of "The Gates,” a public art event by Christo and his wife Jeanne Claude that drew millions to Central Park, and "Manifest Destiny," by Alexis Rockman, showing New York City underwater in the future as a result of climate change.
