Upstream

Spent the weekend exploring the lower Hudson River Valley. Friends in Ossining took us to the Rockefeller Reserve, whence these two views.

Then we headed to the village of Haverstraw, on the other (western) side of the river, to a bed and breakfast on the waterfront - here's the view this morning, back towards Ossining. Yesterday's blue skies were no more, pewters and platinums in their place, and snow on its way.

After breakfast we drove north a bit, around the base of Bear Mountain, and across the river toward Peekskill, on the way to which a turnoff offered the vista below.... notice the broken ice in the foreground, and the very long freight train, both making their way northward!
