robert moses state park

I am back home in New York visiting my family. Always glad to be able to head back to the shore.

These are taken at Robert Moses State Park.

The Robert Moses Causeway is named after the urban master builder, Robert Moses, who is responsible for much of what life looks like in New York: highways, suburbs and, state parks.

I have been visiting this abandoned building for quite some time now on my motorcycle rides. If you are interested, here is where you can read about the history of what is know as the Marseilles Mill Ruins. (Click on the image for a larger view.)

Here is the view from the bridge, looking upriver (East) at the Marseilles Dam. You can see that the water level is high from recent heavy rains. (To see a larger version, just click on the image.)

The first of a series of photographs take on a recent motorcycle trip to Marseilles, IL. I love the small towns along the Illinois River, and, this is one of my favorite. Pictured here is my uber-fun to ride Indian Scout Sixty. More to come…

Located on the right side of this image, the Tribune Tower is just one of the reasons Chicago is so photogenic!

Taken at the oh so quirky, crazy, utterly unique artistic statement known as Salvation Mountain.

Misty moments along the river…

Almost done with my shore time moments. A little more artsy for this post, but, I think the last one will be in color… or…would you prefer black and white?
