View of Roaring Brook Lake from Children’s Beach on a particularly windy day. The lake is usually quite smooth, but today the wind was really whipping up the waves.
Windswept Roaring Brook Lake
Taking a break?
A group of people sitting outside on a nice sunny day soaking up the rays and enjoying a great Hudson River view. I liked the lines of curves of the walls, part of the remains of Rockwood Hall. Were they walkers like myself or perhaps employees of the retirement home in background on their break?
Ghost Rider
I was going along Peekskill Hollow road one day when I saw this skeleton sitting on an old motorcycle perched on a stone wall. I was in a hurry at this time and the light was bad but was determined to get a picture so back I came the next morning when, I guessed, the light would be better. I went past where I had seen it and didn’t find anything. Had I missed it? I went back and noticed wheels poking up over a stone wall. We’d had a storm the evening before and I imagine the whole thing fell over. A few days later the the owners put it back up and I was able to get the pictures. Ghost Rider anyone?
This picture was taken with a Sony Nex 5N with my newly acquired Konica Hexanon 135mm lens, which I’m really getting to like.
Another Stone Chamber
I’ve posted before about these strange stone chambers in Putnam County. Here’s another one.
I really don’t know how I missed this one. It’s on the left side of Route 301 (coming from Cold Spring) about half a mile from the other one on route 301 mentioned in the earlier post. I must have driven by it tens if not hundreds of time and never noticed it. It just goes to show that unless you’re really looking, you tend not to see them. Many locals don’t even know that they even exist.
Old Equipment on Pelton Pond
I was really impressed by the late afternoon light on this old equipment (I have no idea what purpose it once served) in Pelton Pond. Interesting how the water poured into the hole that you see in the picture.
