into the light 3

The latest from my recent trip back home. I know…I’m kind of fond of sunsets…and the shore….and Jones beach….and New York…’nuff said. Hope you enjoy.

Another image in the current New York series. There is something about seeing this beautiful beach deserted that adds to its beauty.

I guess this is somewhat of a “New York” series now, with an emphasis on Jones Beach. The last five posts and the next few are all from my recent  trip to New York. This was a beautiful day at the shore. I believe this runner made it all the way to the sun.

the verrazano–narrows bridge

This beautiful piece of engineering art connects Staten Island and Brooklyn. It has always struck me as a majestic part of the landscape of the five boroughs of New York City. I leave you with this….interesting fact from the MTA website: Seasonal contractions and expansions of the steel cables cause the double-decked roadway to be 12 feet lower in the summer than in the winter.

Taken from my recent trip to New York to be with my parents. Just felt moody, I guess…

Back to Jones Beach for this post. While home this summer I did something that I don’t remember doing while growing up on Long Island: I rode my bicycle along the Wantagh State Parkway to Jones Beach. You can read about the bike path here. It is full of bikers, runners, people on roller blades and walkers. I rode from East Meadow to Seaford where the path begins in Cedar Creek Park. I loved these early morning rides and enjoying a quiet, almost deserted beach. I felt like I had the boardwalk all to myself. I also was able to take more photos of the Jones Beach water tower (images coming soon). Can’t wait to do it again!
