Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
This signboard made me smile! I’m still wondering what a “Chop Chess” is. I assume from the first item that “Chess” is “Cheese”, but I have no idea what a “Chop Chess” is. Chopped Cheese? A chop with cheese? Who knows.

I came across this amazing car while walking in Briarcliff Manor’s “Tree Streets” the other day. I don’t know very much about cars, but after a little research I suspect it’s a 1957 Cadillac Brougham.

Another view from “The Boathouse“, a couple of views of the Shattemuc Yacht Club, and a few co-operative Mallards.

My younger daughter and her two girls are currently in New York. We spent a night in a hotel in Tribeca and the next morning went for a look around taking in the 9/11 memorials, the Oculus and finally the Staten Island Ferry. The latter was of particular interest to me because I lived on Staten Island for three years in the 1970s.

“The outdoor Stations of the Cross at St. Augustine parish, Ossining, offer a profound Lenten meditation on Jesus’ passion, death and resurrection.
The stations, overlooking the Hudson River, were conceived and designed by the Italian artist Nino Di Simone.
The scenes in the 15 stations were sculpted in terra cotta, cut into smaller tiles, and then glazed and fired.
Cardinal John O’Connor, then-Archbishop of New York, blessed the garden, dedicated to “our mothers,” on March 21, 1997.” (“A Contemplative Treasure at Ossining Parish”. Catholic New York, April 12, 2017).
I found this to be really impressive. However, some friends I’ve spoken to find the depictions to be scary.
