I decided to search flickr for Queens, NYC 1907 - to see what I could find about 100 years ago. I came across this lovely photo of Kissena Park, complete with a description.
I was attracted to the photo initially because of the serenity it depicts - so different from my usually hectic days. And because as I write this, I am upstate looking out my window at a foot of snow.
But I've learned a few things, too. First, I didn't know that people could publish text on Flickr! And by reading the accompanying text, I learned quite a bit of history. Including that "kssena" comes from a Chippewa word meaning "it is cold."
