Block Island, Rhode Island, USA - 13 September 2002 Excursion

(Block Island - 13 Sep 2002 Excursion - 04)  Our flight to Block Island takes us over the Groton - New London, Connecticut area where the Thames River empties into the eastern end of Long Island Sound.  The near shoreline is the Connecticut coast.  The long narrow island is Fisher's Island, New York, and the distant narrow band of land on the horizon is the eastern end of Long Island, New York.  And, just 14 miles east of the eastern tip of Long Island is Block Island, Rhode Island (not visible in this photo), our destination.  This is an interesting lesson in geography, as most people don't visualize New York as being this close to Rhode Island.

Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation.  Just as we cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither can we have lasting peace without love and compassion.  It is our hope and prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our environment.
