Neptune's Park Research Paper

Decent Essays
You better brush up on your Greek and Roman Mythology and pack your bathing suit along with your best concert outfit if you're planning a visit to Neptune's Park. Neptune's Park an beautiful beachside concert venue at Virginia Beach is "guarded" by a larger than life statue of King Neptune, Roman god of the seas. While the statue is a sight to see - bronze with 12 foot tall rock base surrounded by various sea creatures, the boardwalk is also a lovely place to stroll around before a concert. You can stop by Virginia Beach Horseback for a horseback ride along the water or Catch 31 for a bite to eat overlooking a beach sunset. After your tiring day of fun in the sun, you can retire to one of these hotels or vacation rentals right near Neptune's

    Park Ecology: Voyageurs National Park With the landscape being molded nearly a billion years ago, glaciers have proved to be a prominent impact on the topography of Voyageurs National Park. In addition to forming the rigid layers of the terrain, the glaciers have also helped in the formation of the mosaic-like rocks and minerals that exist in the present-day wildlife sanctuary.

As time passed, an abundance of wildlife and vegetation flourished within the cold climate of the region.…

    Everyone loves to go to the beach, the sound of waves crashing onto the shore, the scorching sun, sound of seagulls flying above, and everyone enjoys playing a game of beach volleyball and meeting new people. But every once in awhile those beautiful beach days can turn for the worst. The waves that were once playful become violent and the sun is hidden by the dark angry clouds fast approaching. In today's society we would just be mad at ourselves for not checking the weather, but for ancient Greeks, they would have assumed their day was ruined because they had angered the Greek god of the sea, Poseidon. We can see Poseidon's story on the walls of his temple at Cape Sounion in Greece and from looking at Greek art, from pots for oil to elaborate…

Francis’ reasoning comes from his previous role as superintendent of Blue Ridge Parkway, where he worked closely with the…
