June 2, 2012

Red and white kites soared over Pier 1, Brooklyn Bridge Park today for the World Science Festival–Science on Site. More photos and text after the jump.

A diver, pursued by a tiny shark, hovered over the river lawn.

Although the Festival had just begun, the Discovery Lab was busy.

Anyone for a cuppa?
