The River

I love these remnants of piers from the past...though they do seem hazardous to river traffic.

Sunset

Here's that sunset over the Hudson River we were waiting for the night before. 

This is also the spot where Captain Sullivan famously landed his airplane.

Watching Boats

Sunday: Sitting along side the Hudson watching the boats and other modes of transportation after a picnic on a sunny but slightly hazy day.

Frozen Pier

Hopefully this will be the last glimpse of ice in the Hudson. Spring starts tonight (even if we are getting snow today!)

Ice at Pebble Beach

Hopefully all of this will be clearing up now that we are having a heat wave in the '50's! PS: There's not really a beach in there!

Frozen Paddlewheel

 

Here are some boats all ice locked at the pier. Not so good for the tourist business!

Not a Pretty Picture

You kind of have to admire that tree...still growing on that little strip of ground. Before winter it was still alive. I hope to see some leaves on it this spring.

Phantom Pier

Here are some of my favorite ghostly pier remains in the Hudson River. They have been there a long time regardless of the ice surrounding them and the water rushing by them and the stress and strain of the pier above them when they were young.

Walking on Water

Another stop on Saturday's trip was the Walkway over the Hudson State Historic Park over the Hudson River (of course). It was the only part of the day that it seemed a little cloudy.

You can see the Mid-Hudson Bridge.

You can see the other way too.

If you have a nice zoom lens you can take a photo of the sailboat just before it goes under the bridge.

Or a shot of a jet ski

There's the railroad tracks.

The park is a bridge originally built from 1886 to 1889. I was a little disappointed that the actual park part was only a concrete and steel walkway with no old time historical features. The historic part is the understructure which is important for keeping us in the air but is not visible from the walkway.

It's a nice walk across the Hudson, though.
