Tuesday marks four years since I published my first post here on OS. It's amazing to consider how much this place has grown since those early days and it's great to see a large number of beta members still actively posting here.
My first post started with an anniversary...that of… Read full post »
I heard the sad news just a short time ago that famed author and illustrator Maurice Sendak had just passed on at age 83 after complications from a stroke.
While I was not a youngster when his books became so popular, my two sons were able to enjoy his… Read full post »

On Monday afternoon I stopped in at the New Croton Dam in Croton, NY to take photos and video footage of the 106 year old structure. "New" sounds odd for an old dam, but it replaced an earlier dam, hence the addition of "New" to its title.
As the aerial… Read full post »

At 12:30 yesterday I walked through Zuccotti Park, the former location of Occupy Wall Street, and snapped a few photos of what has become an almost empty site save for a few people sitting around eating their lunches and about four people with placards that may or may not have… Read full post »

Just like everyone else, I love a great view!
In my case, I built my house in a somewhat inaccessible location in order to have a wide open and distant view 365 days a year.
I am just over the border from Westchester County in Putnam County and if you… Read full post »

Back in February I wrote about some favorite bookstores that have now disappeared from the scene and that now includes two Borders stores that closed as a result of the company's bankruptcy.
Just two towns away from me is an independent bookstore that epitomizes all of the wonderful features o… Read full post »
Last year at Thanksgiving I posted the following photos of the large number of wild turkeys we have in our woods:
In this photo you will see one of our cats sitting next to a tree and watching the turkeys from a… Read full post »

This morning came word that Zuccotti Park had been cleared out in the middle of the night by NYPD in riot gear and others. From news reports a picture is emerging of much of the possessions in the park having been put in piles and then dumped… Read full post »

Like many OSers in the Middle Atlantic and New England states we had our share of snow yesterday!
Around 9:00 last night the power went off and it was not restored until 3:15 this afternoon. I had the generator cranked up at 9 this morning and kept it running until… Read full post »
Finally, all of the troops will be returned by year's end announced President Obama!
A feeling of déjà vu about this announcement that takes me back to my college days and when Nixon announced the end to Vietnam War which my classmates and I were happy to see come… Read full post »
There is a showdown looming for tomorrow morning at the Occupy Wall Street site. Mayor Bloomberg said last night Brookfield Properties, the owner of the park, wants to clean the park in stages during the day. I can tell you this would be no easy task given how much stuff… Read full post »
Some of my remembrances on the World Trade Center over the years.
A photo of the World Trade Center under construction from the 1971 Parsons School of Design catalog I have from my high school days when I was looking at colleges. I considered… Read full post »
On August 23rd I was in Kent, CT when the widespread earthquake hit. That was the day I photographed the beautiful and historic Bulls Bridge covered bridge.
Obviously the earthquake caused no damage to the bridge as these photos were taken about an hour after the tembler. Likewise, when… Read full post »
Like so many others along the East Coast, I had been dreading Hurricane Irene and early yesterday morning was the start of the ordeal with this storm. Our location is about an hour north of the city and not immune to coastal storms that batter the region from time… Read full post »
