Hudson Highlands Through the Seasons

Posted on by

I have neglected the blog over the past two months (sorry!) as I am immersed in teaching and spend many weekends out hiking. My regular destination is in the Hudson Highlands, from Bear Mountain Toll House to Anthony’s Nose, which I documented with a monthly picture from multiple spots over a year.

The above pictures look up the Hudson River toward the Bear Mountain Bridge.

The steady decline in water levels at Broccy Creek is just another sign of things gone awry.

It was an exercise in patience and focus, framing and remembering the right spot. And getting out every month. Sadly I missed the snow and peak fall colors.

Story Pitch: Imminent Danger

Posted on by

It’s the story of a guy who warns everyone of imminent danger and then vanishes into the frozen water. The facts get confused. Everyone remembers his story differently from the other, until the guy reappears but they now ignore him.

It’s all about perception, like riding a ship down a muddy canal on a rich fall day.

Truth be told, there is no content. That’s the thing. I know I should spend less time on my perverted stories and listening to Black Sabbath’s Snow Blind. Too many old comics too.
