Fotos on the fly: The Hudson River at Dusk – Tarrytown NY

Hi Beth and Richard - The Hudson can be surprisingly choppy. I think people are surprised that it is not as smooth as glass.

Hi Bruce,  Isn't it great to have such stories of a bygone era on the Hudson?  The river used to be so industrial.  Now its being reclaimed for residential use. 

Hi Janis - Another great bridge on a great river.  You get to see it from the other side.  Every time I cross the river, I'm aware of how different the persepctive is from the opposite side. 

Hi Mitchell - I've been in and out of the rain lately as well - the focus is on my "outside blog" - meaning wordpress.  I'm posting the photos here because I am taking up photography for listings as something new to do.  I obviously don't compete with the agents thatwork for - but many great agents can't take good photos, so I think of it as a natural extension of what I am doing as an agent.  I stopped by your "outside" blog a few days ago. I forget if commented.  

Hi Barbara, 

Thanks for the complement...I am very grateful for the restoration of the Hudson.  Its an amazing success story.  As a child in the mid-sevenities - it seemed hopeless.  My feel was "GROSS! ICK!"  To see it now is a testimony to natures ability to repair itself and the committment of the EPA and DEP.  I think you have to be 40+ to fully appreciate the impact of what these departments have done.  I worry that younger people don't realize how bad it was in the 1970s.  I was kind of "born into" the problem.  My mother - who was mature when she had me, saw it building up over the years and later told me there was a "tipping point" in the mid to late 60s when suddenly everyone was very aware of pollution in air and water.  Those who didn't experience the impact and what can be done with a little determination. I was amazed to learn that it was Nixon who establlished the EPA.
