When the weather forecast shows that it’s going to snow on Saturday, taper off that night and become clear on Sunday, it’s a sign that you should get out of bed and see what’s happening when the sun rises. The light, while changing quite quickly, was beautiful this morning. As I was approaching the ridge, the sun was rising and cast a muted pink glow on the rocks that soon gave way to a brilliant orange.
What’s a better way to spend a cool, late autumn Saturday night than checking out some local bands? This was the second annual Foodstock Benefit concert at The Chance Theater in Poughkeepsie. Good times for a good cause.
I had the privilege of photographing my friends in the band Snaphammer. Like punk? Check them out. But first, check out the photos from last night 🙂 Thanks for a great show guys!
Having a friend who’s a pilot is a good thing. Having him offer you a plane ride over the Hudson Valley is even better.
On a super clear late autumn day, we left the Dutchess County Airport and headed south following the Hudson River south as it snaked its way through the highlands. After crossing over two bridges and seeing the Manhattan skyline, we continued our journey by looping around and going north and over the Shawangunk range in New Paltz. Sky Top looks a bit different when viewed from the top. 🙂 We circled around New Paltz and then back over the Hudson, following it over the Walkway over the Hudson and the Mid Hudson Bridge and finally back to the airport. Thanks for a great flight Jon!
