GWB in Black and White

previous / next

I really need to thank everyone for the overwhelming response to the previous image. It received an amazing 78 comments at last count, 25 here and 53 over at Capture This Photography 2 (formerly known as Parallel Universe) I am really, really flattered by the amazing response it received. Thank you!

Now I have a hard act to follow I suppose...Hmmm...

I really don't know where to start with my backlog of images, but I don't want to post every day either. I like posting every other day because I find it more manageable.

I picked this one of the George Washington Bridge to start moving away from Jersey City. I love this bridge and there is a wonderful park that runs next to the river on the Jersey side and under the bridge. This was actually taken a few weeks before the Jersey City photos but I was anxious to do the Jersey City series so I set it aside.

The weather was not great that day and in fact we got caught in a violent storm as we were driving out of the park which made it a little scary with all the tree branches falling, the rain wind, lighting and thunder, and the sheer cliffs next to us. I felt worse for the bicyclers and hikers that got caught in the storm.

As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos on "Parallel Universe" as I do here. It has become too complicated to maintain two different photoblogs on a regular basis. Feel free to visit "Parallel Universe" and look through the portfolio/archives since there are quite a few photos there that were never posted here. I will continue to post on both since each one gets different viewers. I have also changed the title of Parallel Universe to Capture This Photography 2.

Thistle with Bee

previous / next

A few weeks ago we went to Palisades Interstate Park in Ft. Lee and Edgewater NJ, just below the George Washington Bridge. It is a beautiful park and quite large encompassing 12 miles along the Hudson River across from NYC.

The day we were there the weather was very threatening and in fact we were caught driving the cliffs in a very scary, windy, severe, thunderstorm. As scary as it was for us in the car, I was glad we weren't among the hikers and bikers that had been caught in it.

I did manage to get a few shots and some of my favorites really could have come from anywhere such as this one.
