Kickass Kid of the Day: Yes, this shot is real — photographer James Morgan submitted it to this year’sNational Geographic Traveler Photo Contest:

Enal, a young sea nomad, rides on the tail of a tawny nurse shark, in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Marine nomadism has almost completely disappeared in South East Asia as a result of severe marine degradation. I believe children such as Enal have stories that could prove pivotal in contemporary marine conservation.

Just… wow. Our money’s on Morgan for the win.

Who promptly responded, “At least we’re here to see it.”

NYC Skyline of the Day: One World Trade Center, built over six years in the spot where the Twin Towers fell, surpassed the 1250-foot Empire State Building as the tallest in New York today. Construction is expected to be completed in December, when the height of the building will be 1368 feet, with the antenna spire pushing the edifice to a final height of 1776 feet.
