I liked the texture of the rock and the diagonal lines of the cracks. Also the contrast with the black, essentially vertical twig.

Funfair – Peekskill
This was taken back in October, 2011 with a Sony Alpha 500 and Sigma 75-300mm lens. We’d been on a boat excursion on the Hudson with four friends and we’d arrived back in Peekskill just as it was getting dark. I recall that I wanted to get some sense of movement to capture the excitement of the funfair ride.
Pall Bearers
I thought long and hard about posting this picture. A while back I posted about a niece of ours who had passed away (RIP Eve Borja). This was taken at the funeral and shows the pall bearers waiting to take the coffin. The problem was that part of me felt that posting it would be intruding into their grief. What changed my mind was that my pictures don’t generally say much: at best they’re just “pretty pictures”. This one, I think, is an exception in that it seems to me that it does express something of the grief and devastation that they were feeling. So my apologies to the people in the picture. If any of you see this and take exception to me posting it please let me know and I’ll remove it.
Fall around Roaring Brook Lake
I take many of my pictures while walking around near where I live. Just at the moment it’s difficult to see anything but the magnificent foliage. So here are a few shots taken while walking around Roaring Brook Lake. Above a picture of the road around the lake:Lake Shore Road.

I really have no idea why I found this appealing other than that it’s a bit quirky. I must be getting desperate.
