Gallivanting to the Sixth Boro

If you depart at 0400, there’s not much to photograph.  Light beckoned as we approached Newburgh/Beacon.

I saw Mt. Beacon as I never had before;

ditto Storm King in sunrise that even dappled

the wave tops.

Once around Gee Point, we saw the statue (to the left on the ridge)

of Kościuszko’s, fortifier of West Point.

Once south of the Bear Mountain Bridge, passengers traveled upstream

for seasonal seesighting.

Scrap was sought.

Sloops sailed and

work boats waited their time.

More statues sighted, and

vessels waited their time.

 

And we had arrived at a place where at least two boros approached each other.

Will Van Dorp, who took these photos, is back in the boros for a while.
