Twice a year, during New York's famous Manhattanhenge event, the setting sun lines up perfectly behind One World Trade Center. And from the right spot in New Jersey with a long lens, the Statue of Liberty stands directly in the foreground.
The result is this. Lady Liberty's torch appearing to ignite a beam of sunlight that blazes straight down from the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere.
No editing. No tricks. Just a photographer who knew exactly where to stand and when.

It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that the staff of The American Baptist Churches of Massachusetts (TABCOM) joins our siblings in Christ across the globe in mourning the passing of Rev. Dr. Eleazar Ziherambere. We grieve the loss of a faithful servant whose life bore witness to Christ’s reconciling love and steadfast commitment to God’s mission in the world. Dr. Ziherambere’s decades of leadership—as pastor, as a partner in global mission, and most recently as a retired Area Director for Africa with International Ministries—exemplified a life poured out in service, peace-making, and deep compassion for all peoples.

Across cities like Auckland, Nelson, and Waiheke Island, fruit trees are intentionally planted in public spaces, including sidewalks, parks, and berms, so anyone can pick fresh produce for free. According to OurAuckland, these trees include apples, plums, feijoas, figs, and even bananas, all grown with support from local councils and community trusts.

The movement is part of a broader push for urban foraging, which encourages residents to gather food from publicly accessible trees and gardens. According to Urban Foraging NZ, there’s even an interactive map that lets people locate fruit and nut trees in their neighborhoods, add new ones, and share seasonal updates. Waiheke Island alone planted nearly 1,000 fruit trees through the “Love Our Fruit Trees” project, with locals acting as “tree guardians” to care for them. This initiative not only promotes food resilience and sustainability, but also fosters a sense of community and shared responsibility.
