Back to Jones Beach State Park for this post. This is part of a series of images were taken back in January on a rather cold and dull day, so it has been fun working with the pictures to try and find some detail and perspective. I love the shore when it is like this…quiet…deserted…salty air…loud, winter surf…time speeds away and slows down all at once…if that makes sense…..
Another shot of this pretty cool piece of architecture located at Jones Beach State Park on the southern shores of Long Island.
And just before you head out to enjoy your weekend, another shot of the Jones Beach Water Tower. I have a few more images coming from my trip back home this past January. The Art Deco style of this tower (this 84 year old beauty is an actual functioning water tower) is representative of the bath houses and other structures in this beautiful state park.
Most of the Chicago area was transformed into the ice planet Hoth this winter. Tauntauns would have been helpful…. except for the smell. This was taken at Robert Moses State Park, on Long Island in New York. (No Tauntauns were harmed in the taking and processing of this photograph.)
Robert Moses State Park. Love the shore…. any time of year…. I love the shore…
This has been a wonderful week loving on my elderly parents, laughing with my siblings, and walking along the shore during this trip to my home town: East Meadow, NY. So grateful to take home some new memories… grateful for family, friends, and, this beautiful world…
A long time ago I decided to stop trying to understand why I love the southern shore of Long Island so much; particularly Jones Beach and Robert Moses. I simply enjoy the sense of peace, wonder and smallness that walking along these beautiful beaches bring to my soul. Add to that, the fond childhood and high school sweetheart memories, and I remain – always – so glad to be back “home” along the shore…
Here is the Jones Beach Water Tower. You can see the stone structures at the bottom that house the lights that were in my previous post. I have an abiding love and heart for the shore, and, the memories that I have of growing up around this beach. This beautiful tower (it actually is a functioning water tower) is representative of the art deco design featured throughout the bath houses and other structures of Jones Beach.
This was taken at Jones Beach, NY, on a much more peaceful day than today. My mind and heart are turned back home. My family is safe, but I know that many are not. I hope that those who have suffered so much during this storm can find peace and safety.
From Jones Beach State Park, New York: this state park is part of the storied vision of the urban / suburban development of Robert Moses, President of the Long Island State Park Commission. From beaches to bridges, to parks and parkways, Robert Moses was a master builder and his work has helped define that New York Metropolitan area in terms of beauty, accessibility, traffic and urban living. This image is taken from the beautiful Jones Beach boardwalk.
