Anthony's Nose and Bear Mountain Bridge on a rainy fall morning.

I found a great vantage point at geology point in the Trailside Zoo at Bear Mountain.  This was taken on a rainy morning here in the Hudson Valley.  The good folks at the zoo let me in early to get the shot before i headed to work.  I would like to try again on a clear day when the sun is coming up on the eastern side of the river with some nice color in the sky.  Finding the location is about one third of the battle.... next comes getting good exposures and compositions then finally it is editing the image to get the most out of it with cropping and color correcting.  Expect to see this scene a few more times before i think i have it just right.

Trailside Zoo at Bear Mountain

I decided to make a trip to the Trailside Zoo at Bear Mountain State Park this morning.  I have not been there since I was a small boy.  It is a small zoo, but I am happy to say I had a chance to get some nice photos.

If you have a little time on your hands and want to spend a nice morning with kids this zoo is perfect, not too big and set in a nicely trailed wooded area by the river.
