Hudson River Valley...

Took my familiar ride over to Rockwood today on July 18th. Periodically over the years I take this ride to spiritually recharge my soul. It never fails and today was no exception. Armed with the camera I made the familiar ride but it's nevere the same ride. Each time I see the landscape in a different manner. There is always something new to see. And at the duck pond, where i stopped to take many pictures making me get off to a slow start a crazy old psychic lady stopped. i wound up gettinginvited to a mediation class down in White Plains. She also admonished me to stop smoking....so it goes...the light show today was fantastic and I went deeper into Rockwood then I usually do. I even found a secret hiding spot. I'd like to bring a girl back there sometime. It is that kind of spot. But a big impetus behind today's trip was to get shots of the Hudson and Tappan point which were big influences on the Hudson River School which I am very much into at the moment...
