Thanks, It was a Saturday with no one around so I figured I would tour it.

The ideal opportunity

Huge (and green) campus.

What a magnificent campus and grounds.  Should make for a great learning environment.  I like the double domes on the main building.

They put some effort into this construction considering it's a Community College.

I found the pan at the start a little too fast.   but the rest was nice.

We don't get much greenery and I wanted it to stop at the buildings.

The green was good,  just a little slowly would be better to the eye.

They sure did and the end result is amazing.

It's fun to fly over. The CUNY system is setting up something to let me film a dozen of their colleges. Since I'm close to this one I flew it to remind them that I'm waiting.

Maybe this will put you back on their radar of things that need to be done.  Would make for a really interesting project.

Sometimes it just takes a little push to jog their memory.

Woke up this morning and was sitting on a lounge chair on the stern of my boat sipping my morning coffee when 3 manatees decided to pay me a visit.  They seemed to check out all around the deck area and then decided to swim off.  It's easy to see why they have the nickname "sea cows".

I swam with a few on Sanibel Island in Florida. They are amazingly docile.

It is amazing to see a  manatee use it's two fore limb flippers to hold vegetation while eating. I've also seen them use those same flippers for steering movement.

I've never seen them eating.

It truly is something to see.  They do tend to eat a lot.  Hmmm, maybe that is why they are so big around.

I would assume like a sea elephant.

Nice to see!

It's Ironic that it was a mental institution before becoming a college.

Where's the irony? Are the students all nuts? LOL

It seems that way. They've converted an institution for the insane to a learning institution.

Easier to control that way my friend. The key is to preempt that and rise above it. The media in particular has a lot to answer for!

Negative sells. People like to hate unfortunately. It's in our nature.
