Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
We were sitting outside “The Patio” in Briarcliff Manor waiting for our lunch arrive when I spotted these salt and pepper shakers on the glass topped table. So far I hadn’t tried anything close up with the ME Super so I decided to “give it a go”.

According to the Town of Yorktown website:
The Putnam Railroad began business as the New York and Boston Railroad on May 21, 1869. Its goal was to link Westchester and Putnam counties with railroad lines serving upstate New York and New England into Canada. In the 1880s the railroad station was the center of town, surrounded by five stores, a school, a hotel, two locksmiths, a wheelwright, and two churches. When the rail line closed, the Town of Yorktown eventually came into ownership of the station and the surrounding property, which became a town park.
In 1976/77, the Town repaired the station house exterior. In 1981 the station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and in 1994 the Historical Society undertook exterior renovations. Today the Railroad Station stands at the side of the North County Trailway and is again in need of repairs, but ultimately the Town would like to open it as a small snack shop.

I took most of the pictures with the Pentax ME Super while walking around Yorktown Heights, NY as I waited for my wife to finish with her dental appointment. Shortly after I left the car I came across, in quick succession an American Legion Post and a Veterans of Foreign Wars post.
Outside each of them was a small artillery piece. I have no idea what they are. I’ll have to consult with my friend, a former artillery lieutenant-colonel. Although these are probably long before his time he’s usually pretty good at “ferreting out” the required information.
