Interesting looking tree spotted near my house. It took me quite a few attempts to get the shot I wanted.

Around the Neighborhood – Some black and whites
These were taken around “The Club“, a relatively recently opened “seniors community” in Briarcliff Manor. “The Club” is situated on the site of the former Briarcliff Lodge, a once popular resort hotel once frequented by a number of celebrities. Unfortunately, after being abandoned for some time it burnt down around 2003.

Around the Neighborhood – Pocantico Park
Pocantico park is the largest park in Briarcliff Manor. This 70.9-acre site was acquired in 1948 and added to in 1963, 1964 and 1967. The park abuts the Pocantico River and is home to a large number of animals found in the region including the white tail deer. Some hiking trails are marked.
I’ve lived in Briarcliff Manor for 23 years and I can’t believe that I didn’t know that this park existed. It’s about an hours walk from my house. It’s a decent enough park to take the dog for a hour, hour and a half walk. When I went it had a few interesting fungi, and a couple of interesting rock foundations, but other than that there’s nothing particularly interesting to see.

And now for something completely different – At least for me.
Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) is a technique where you deliberately move the camera during exposure. I’ve tried it a couple of times in the past and didn’t much like the results. During one of my recent woodland walks I decided to try it again. I quite like some of these.
Taken with a Sony A6000 and 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 OSS.
