Sunset over the Hudson

I mentioned in an earlier post that I had gone down to the Hudson in the afternoon for an early dinner. There were lots of clouds about so I decided to stick around for a while to see what the sunset would bring. These are the results. Not the multicolored hues that you usually see with really spectacular sunsets. But not all that bad either.

A Brewery in Briarcliff Manor?

I’ve lived in Briarcliff Manor for around 27 years and I’ve never that that there was a brewery in the village. I tried to find information on the internet, but with no success. So, either:

  • These signs are purely decorative.
  • They’re no longer operational.
  • They don’t advertise and you have to be “in the know” to use them.

The Pond at Law Memorial Park in Fall

The park is named after Walter W. Law, the founder of Briarcliff Manor who donated the land. It wasn’t originally called “Law” park. At first it was called “Freedom” park. Mr. Law seemed to have been a very humble person and possibly didn’t want a park named after him. The name was eventually changed from “Freedom Park” to “Law Memorial Park”.

I was a bit worried about the girl in the second picture. She seemed awfully close to the end of the pond. It was clear, however, that the man in the picture (who I assume to be her father) was keeping a close eye on her.
