North-South Lake, Haines Falls, NY
Love visiting my girlfriend's parent's home in the Catskill Mountains of upstate NY. On the last night of our trip, her family and I set out to a place in the mountains called Sunset Rock. This viewpoint looks out over North-South Lake in the Catskill Forest Preserve. After enjoying a picnic along the shore of the lakes, we all adventured up to Sunset Rock. The light wasn't anything spectacular, but still a peaceful evening. Out of frame to the left (east) is the Hudson River Valley. It was a great trip back east, and I had a lot of fun with the travel photography, but the mountains are calling, and I'm excited to get back out this weekend!
This is August in the Catksill Mountains. This scene is located a few miles up the road from where I used to live, when I lived in Catskill.

Kaaterskill Falls is a two-drop waterfall located in the eastern Catskill Mountains of New York, on the north side of Kaaterskill Clove, between the hamlets of Haines Falls and Palenville in Greene County's Town of Hunter. The dual cascades total 260 feet (79 m) in height, making it one of the higher waterfalls in New York, and one of the Eastern United States' taller waterfalls.
The falls are one of America's oldest tourist attractions, with it appearing in some of the most prominent books, essays, poems and paintings of the early 19th century. Long before Alexis de Tocqueville's famous essay on America, Kaaterskill Falls was lauded as a place where a traveler could see a wilder image, a sort of primeval Eden. Beginning with Thomas Cole's first visit in 1825, they became an icon subject for painters of the Hudson River School, setting the wilderness ideal for American landscape painting. The Falls also inspired "Catterskill Falls", a poem by William Cullen Bryant

The Catskill Mountains area is coming alive with autumn color. The reds, yellows and oranges were plentiful this past weekend as we drove around the area and it's only going to get better in the upcoming days. This fantastic scene is near Cannonsville Reservoir after some dense fog lifted in the upper hills, leaving a cloud floor in the valleys.
Through the ample open door of the peaceful country barn,
A sun-lite pasture field, with cattle feeding; And haze, and vista, and far horizon fading away.

alainacase: Beautiful! Makes me miss fall ☺
I was watching T.V. tonight with my wife and dogs, it had been rainny and cloudy all day so I wasnt expecting the sunset to be good. So when I saw my living room light up and turn this redish pink color I grabbed my camera and jacket and ran outside to take some shots of the sunset. I realized after a few shots my feet were wet, I forgot to put my shoes on.....So I went back inside and put my shoes on and drove down the street just in time to shoot this sunset.
One of my favorite subjects to shoot in the Catskills…circa late 1800s…she goes by the name of Cold Spring House. What's depicted in my image is 1/5th of her enormous footprint.
Spring already begun but there is no single blade of grass here yet.
Neverthelees I have pleanty of wonderful winter memories.
Happy Sunday to all!
