The church has some magnificent views of the Hudson River. The only problem is that in Summer (which is when I took these pictures) you can hardly see them because of the leaves on the trees.

The picture above shows a view of the west side of the Hudson with the river in the foreground.

The picture below shows a view over Croton Bay (the water in foreground) and Croton Point. The hills is the background are the same as in the preceding picture, but from this angle you can’t see the Hudson at all.

Sitting by the Hudson

This guy seemed to be enjoying sitting by the Hudson. The wind was quite strong and as you can see, he was bundled up to keep warm. I also suspect that he was sleeping, because every so often his body would slide to the side and after a couple of seconds, he’d right himself

These were taken along River Road, one of the most expensive parts of Briarcliff Manor. They’re all large houses. What you’re see here is the part of the house that faces the road. The other side faces the Hudson River. You can get a sense of what the views must be like in the final pictures.

Ossining Waterfront

I’ve often taken photographs looking from the waterfront towards the river, but I think this is the first one taken from the river looking back towards the waterfront.

From left to right: Harbor Square Apartments; 3 Westerly (I often have lunch here) and barely visible behind it the Ossining Metro North Station; A sculpture called River Arch created by Peter Lundberg in 2016. It’s been described as a “42-foot steel and concrete arch resembling a giant wishbone” and it’s sometimes referred to as “The Eye of Sauron” I’ve never come across anyone who likes it; A walkway leading to the Ossining-Haverstraw Ferry; A small kiosk which sells refreshments and also contains restrooms; Barely vision on the far right of the photograph you can just make out a brown building. This is the Ossining Boat and Canoe Club.
