On a recent trip, there was a free weekend to visit New York. Here were some of the sights.
Here is the Ashokan Reservoir, one view in very early morning with the mist on the water, and one view an hour later in the sunshine.
Here is the Poets’ Walk park, overlooking the Hudson River.
In the town of Rhinebeck, here is the Dutch Reformed Church built in 1807.

Your photographs today lend themselves to my efforts at contemplation. Thank you Mary. Thank you for seeing the essence and doing your utmost to record and share it.
Robb, I was just going to email you the photos, but as always you are realms ahead of me. It is nice to contemplate you in contemplation, and to look forward to what resulting insights you share later on. Thank you for stopping by! Masha
