At Ossining Station

In the preceding post (See:At Scarborough Station) I mentioned that I had a choice of two stations when I was going into New York City. In that post I chose to go to Scarborough.

For this post I chose to go to Ossining.

As is often the case strong winds blow down the Hudson. On this day they were not only strong, but very cold so I sought refuge in one of the shelters on the platform. These shelters are like large glass boxes. There’s nowhere to sit, but there is a large button that you can press to get heat. These pictures were taken through the shelter windows.



And now for something completely different

At least for me.

After one of our last snowfalls, it got very cold and windy. I was a bit bored, but didn’t want to go out because it was so cold. I was in my kitchen when I noticed that the strong winds were blowing these tall weeds, waiting to be removed come Spring. I hadn’t done much black and white lately, so I thought I’d go with that. Add a slow shutter speed to blur the image and this is what you get.
