A man-made lake in the center of Lakewood, New Jersey, Lake Carasaljo is one of the jewels in Lakewood’s crown. Lake Carasaljo is named after the three daughters of the owner of the Bergen Iron Works, Joseph Woolston Brick, for whom Brick Township, New Jersey is named. His daughters were named Caroline (nicknamed ‘Carrie’), Sarah (‘Sally’) and Josephine (‘Jo’). The lake has a perimeter of 4.5 miles and sits on 176 acres of parkland.

As the sun sets along the rolling hills around Jarrettsville, in Harford County, Maryland, thousands of golden sunflower fields create a spectacular sight. Clear Meadow Farm plants about 5,000,000 sunflower plants across the acreage. The sunflowers start blooming in late August and remain in bloom through mid September. During this time the sea of yellow and green turns into a tourist attraction as cars pull off to the side of the road so people can get a glimpse at the spectacular sight.
