I took the dog for a walk along the Hudson River in Ossining, NY the other day. It was a clear, bright day with blue skies and the odd cloud. But it was really cold, and the strong wind blowing down the Hudson didn’t make it any warmer.

This guy on a jet ski braved the elements. The wet suit he was wearing would, I guess have provided some protection, but I imagine it still would have been very cold.

The seagulls were having difficulty taking off into the strong wind.

A relatively new, and very welcome addition to the Ossining waterfront: 3 Westerley, a very pleasant restaurant.

Still going.

I had a slight mishap during this walk. I was doing quite well against the strong wind when an elderly woman with a stick and her husband (I assume) approached from the opposite direction. She said something, but with the wind and the masks we were both wearing I couldn’t make out what it was. Then as she got closer she lost her footing and started to fall. Both her husband and myself tried to steady her, but only succeeded in bringing all three of us down. I got up fairly quickly but the couple stayed where they were until a good samaritan passing by helped them up and walked them to the car. So thankfully no harm done. I continued my walk.

Taken with a Sony A6000 and 7artisans 25mm f1.8 lens. Unfortunately I’d taken the wrong lens yet again could really have used a telephoto so that I didn’t have to crop so much.
