hudson river: Wordless Wednesday|Bridge over the Hudson River - 10/26/11 11:28 PM
Over a year ago I was on the Amtrak heading for New York City.  This ride is scenic as the train track runs along the Hudson River.   I always try to get as many pictures as I can, especially of the bridges.
Here is a shot of a bridge over the Hudson River I took on that trip.

Wordless Wednesday-Ice Anyone?
When I am between appointments I like to enjoy a few moments alone.  Today I drove down to the docks in Rhinecliff and just watched the ice floating by. Amazingly, I found it soothing.  You guessed it; this ice was on the Hudson river.

hudson river: Poughkeepsie NY Restaurant-Shadows On The Hudson - 06/19/10 10:01 PM
Poughkeepsie NY has made stride in the development of the Hudson River waterfront.  Shadows On The Hudson is one of the newer restaurant to grace the Poughkeepsie NY waterfront, and the views from this restaurant is spectacular.
There are five dining areas to choose from; and I personally would want to be on the patio with the best view of the river.  This is also a popular spot for professionals to socialize.  Recently I attended a social event there for Realtors and their affiliates.
Okay so I spent more time looking at the landscape, I just could not help myself.

hudson river: Speechless Sunday-Summer Fun on the Hudson River-Rhinecliff NY - 05/30/10 04:46 PM
Summer Fun on the Hudson River-Rhinecliff NY
Today I took a drive down to the Hudson River in Rhinecliff NY and I could not believe the number of sailboats on the water.  Memorial Day weekend is certainly the kickoff to that summer season of fun.
There is much to do in the Hudson Valley and because of the majestic Hudson River water sport is big here.  In the photograph the sailboat you are seeing is the FIASCO it came in close so I was able to get a good shot.  Today was a great day for sailing the temperature was in the … (20 comments)

hudson river: Wordless Wednesday-The Palisades in Rockland NY - 03/10/10 12:29 AM
Wordless Wednesday-The Palisades in Rockland NY
The Palisades can be found along the Hudson river.  This unique rock formation is made up mostly of sill diabase.
The Palisade is listed as a National Natural Landmarks and I can see why.
If you can recall my series of bridge shots from the Metro-North train  this too was taken that same day.
Yes there is so much to explore, just look around .

hudson river: Speechless Sunday - With a clue can you Guess where and what this is? - 03/07/10 07:21 AM
 Speechless Sunday -  With a clue can you Guess where and what this is?
This week I gave you a clue as to where and what this place is.  Here are two more clues, a view and a part of the building

 

Updates
Michael O'Connor in California was very persistent and did end up solving  this puzzle therefore it is only right I should now post the complete photos of the exterior of Mills Mansion located in Staatsburgh in the Town of Hyde Park NY

This is the front of the Mansion which does not face the river.

hudson river: Speechless Sunday - A Bridge to nowhere - 01/31/10 11:35 PM

This was one of the scene I capture from my trip on the train.  I first called it a bridge to nowhere but looking closer that is not entirely true; more like a bridge to an icy dip in the Hudson River.  I can't imagine why it has been left dangling like that.

hudson river: Wordless Wednesday - The Bear Mountain Bridge - 01/20/10 08:05 PM
The Bear Mountain Bridge is yet another photo in my bridge series that I took from a moving train.  This is a suspension bridge over the Hudson River and was put into operation in 1924.
This bridge connects  Peeksill in Westchester county on the east side of the river,  to Orange County in the west. The area is very scenic and Bear Mountain Park is a popular recreational destination.
Many travel this Bridge to get too and from another well known national institution, West Point, which is located just about 20 minutes from the east side of the bridge.

hudson river: Wordless Wednesday - Scene from the Metro North Hudson Line - 01/13/10 11:30 PM
To get to Raincamp NYC I decided to take Metro North Hudson Line from New Hamburg.
The train run right along the Hudson River and the route is extremely scenic.
My camera was equipped with a brand new card so I decided to take pictures of all sorts of objects along the way.
My husband was so sure I was just wasting space on the card, how surprised he was to see the lovely photos I captured from a moving train.
This particular shot appeals to me it looks like some big monster rising up out of the Hudson River, the … (22 comments)

hudson river: Speechless Sunday - Do you know the way to Greene County NY? - 09/20/09 12:26 AM

An upcoming post is related to both Olana and Rip Van Winkle so stay tune.

hudson river: Flotilla on the Hudson River? - 06/12/09 08:51 PM
 
 
I have been blogging about events occurring in the Hudson Valley because this is New York's 400 year celebration, the Qradracentennial.   This week I had the opportunity to witness a flotilla going up the Hudson River.   It included a replica of the Half Moon the ship in which Henry Hudson sailed up the Hudson River; and the Nina one of Christopher Columbus  ship.

hudson river: My Close Encounter With The Sloop Clearwater From The Rhinecliff Hotel - 04/16/09 11:27 PM
This morning was very busy, the phone was ringing quiet a bit,  and I was making sure things were in place for my new listings.  I was also keeping in mind I was having lunch with my garden club at 12 Noon.  The time flew by and before I knew it, it was 11:45 AM.  I thought about not going since I would not make it on time.   But then again even Realtors need to have some fun, so off I went.   I was 20 minutes late yet these ladies always make me feel welcomed, you see most of the ladies are retired and they have come … (21 comments)

hudson river: Speechless Sunday - Lighthouse on frozen Hudson River - 02/15/09 10:08 PM

As a family we like to get out and take photographs.  This beautiful shot of the Esopus Meadow Lighthouse on a fozen Hudson River was taken by my husband; however I told him he lost the rights to it since he used my camera and there is no arguing with me since I have the disc....Lol
This is just a way of thanking him for being my picture taking partner.

This was the home of Janet Livingston Montgomery a member of one of the largest land owning families of the time.  Alexander Jackson Davis a well known architect of the time was responsible for the design.
Montgomery Place  was constructed in 1805 on 434 beautiful acres with views of the Hudson River and Catskills Mountains.   The beautiful grounds showcase lovely roses and herb gardens as well as an orchard.  Just the other day I took a leisurely walk on the grounds, enjoyed the great views, the beautiful hemlock trees, walked down a long path until I ended up at a great waterfall … (16 comments)

hudson river: The Roundout: A Historic Area Of Kingston New York - 02/14/07 12:21 PM

                                                       Various shops and office buildings
 
The Roundout is now a vibrant community where, especially on the weekend, you will find people walking around visiting shops and sampling the varied cuisine at the many new restaurants.
This was once a separate village but in 1872 became part of Kingston which as you might know was the first capital of New York.
This area was well suited for commerce because of the location; situated near the Roundout Creek and Hudson River.  This was a thriving community.  Economic growth went hand in hand with access to the most popular mode of transportation at the time, shipping. … (9 comments)

hudson river: The Village of Tivoli, NY - 02/02/07 12:22 AM
Tivoli is a small close knit community in the township of Red Hook.  It runs along the Hudson River and provides spectacular views of the Catskill mountain.
This village was incorporated in 1872 and because of it's proximity to the Hudson River it was once a stop on the steamship route.  Because of this, the village was once an economic center for the area.  This was even more evident when the railroad arrived in 1851.
Once the automobile arrived the railroad was no longer important.  This led to economic decline because many were left unemployed or underemployed.
 However in the 1980's … (8 comments)
