My cat Dusty does this every once in a while and I don’t know why. But he seems to love it as much as this cat shown above. [via]

A photo under the Coney Island boardwalk

I made it underneath the Coney Island boardwalk yesterday. It’s a magical place! You can hear the conversations up above and the streaming sunlight through the slits in the wood is amazing.

Most of the area is walkable standing upright, but there are some sections where the sand piles up so high that you have to crouch just to get by. The opening to get in is right in front of the big mural along the boardwalk.

Mind you, it’s still trespassing if you go in, so be smart and alert, and don’t get yourself caught.
