About Crawford Notch: Thomas Cole’s A View of the Mountain Pass Called the Notch of the White Mountains (Crawford Notch) (1839) captures the awe-inspiring grandeur and perilous power of nature. The painting depicts the site of a tragic 1826 landslide, symbolizing humanity’s frailty against uncontrollable natural forces. Amidst a luminous autumnal landscape, small human figures- an oblivious rider, bystanders near an inn, and a distant stagecoach—contrast with ominous storm clouds and the V-shaped notch, seemingly carved by supernatural forces. Twisted, skeletal trees in the foreground and middle distance hint at past devastation, reinforcing the theme of instability and change. Cole masterfully blends beauty and foreboding, using light and composition to evoke both nature’s majesty and its lurking dangers. The painting is a meditation on time, loss, and the impermanence of human endeavors. It stands as a quintessential example of the Hudson River School’s fascination with the sublime and the transcendental power of the American wilderness. // Image Credit: Thomas Cole, 1839, Courtesy National Gallery of Art, Washington

This new jigsaw puzzle captures the beauty and vitality of a walnut tree. Walnuts are known not only for their lush, green foliage but also for their remarkable nutritional benefits, being rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and essential minerals. The most common variety, the English walnut (Juglans regia), is prized for its mild flavor, while the black walnut (Juglans nigra) offers a more robust taste. Walnut trees play an important role in the environment, sequestering carbon, but they also release a substance called juglone, which affects nearby plants. Historically, walnuts have symbolized wisdom and prosperity, and they remain versatile in the culinary world, featured in a range of dishes and oils. This scene, bathed in summer sunlight, is a reminder of both the natural beauty and cultural significance of the walnut tree.
