Last Thanksgiving I took the dog for a walk at Croton Point Park, NY. The weather was great, and the light was superb. Above: Rocks and a tree (with roots) looking vaguely North over Verplanck. You can just make out the Bear Mountain Bridge in the background, and behind that the Schunemunk Mountain State Park (I think).

I love the symmetry of this tree.

Around the Neighborhood – Scarborough Station at Dusk

It was getting dark, but I had to take the dog for a walk. Where to go? I decided to go down to Scarborough Station where I used to take the Metro North Train to go to work every day. I’d been there many times and felt that I’d probably exhausted the possibilities for finding something picture-worthy so I didn’t think I’d come back with any pictures. But I took a camera along just in case. This is what a came up with.

Adjoining the station is a small park. Above a picture of the station taken from this park.

This woman was on her phone sitting by the river.

I liked the shape of the tree.

A group of young people were taking pictures with their iphones so I took a picture of them looking out over the river towards the New Tappan Zee bridge.
