Cold Spring Harbor

The surroundings here are tremendous. The Cold Spring Harbor Labs are situated on a hillside overlooking the bay. Huge trees are growing here, the cabins for accommodation of visitors are virtually in the forest. Squirrels run around the grounds, not at all afraid of the scientists walking about. I almost stepped on a rabbit crossing my path. He stopped to nibble at a tulip right in front of me, then walked off in no hurry.
