Photos of the Day: An Icy Sunrise Over Babylon

A local photographer captures the beautiful sunrise last week over the icy Great South Bay.

Boy, it sure has been cold!

Babylon Village faced a streak of over 120 straight hours last week into the weekend below the freezing mark of 32° F. While we will break that trend on this Monday, the winter left us with more beautiful views across the village.

Local photographer Flo Siemsen (Flo of Pictures!) sent us more beautiful shots she took during the week-long ice age, including the sun rising over a frigid bay.

Siemsen has sent us some beautiful shots in the last few months, including those we've linked to on the sidebar.

Thanks again Flo for sending us your photographs!

As I explained, my post was made on behalf of another village resident. However, I did take theRead More time to read the statute and do have an independent viewpoint on this subject. While I do not feel that all dogs require a muzzle at all times, if you have a dog that you know to be a threat to other dogs or humans, you would have a duty to take measures to eliminate that threat before bring that dog into public. If that measure is a muzzle, then that's what must be done. As my post indicated, I believe strict enforcement would be exceedingly difficult and, perhaps, unnecessary (at least with respect to the muzzle requirement). However, a total lack of enforcement is dangerous and unacceptable. I think a little common sense goes a long way and I have confidence that those charged with enforcing the Village code could do so selectively. I understand that selective enforcement may be a concept that many feel uncomfortable with. However, just because the law requires a muzzle, that is hardly a reason to disregard it in its entirety and allow dogs with vicious propensities to roam around unleashed. I will leave it up to Village lawmakers to remove the muzzle requirement (and suggest that they do so) if that is what it would take to make people comfortable with the leash requirement.
