fresnel art

I wonder if there are any still living who possess the creativity, artistry, and craftsmanship represented by these Fresnel lenses. They are truly magnificent!

Next post (I promise): we start climbing!

end of the island

The spring weather in Illinois and in New York has been more like a crazy mash-up of Fall with a touch of Winter: lots of cold rain and gray skies. During my recent trip to New York a beautiful, sunny, bright day made an appearance that coincided with a last minute decision to go to the end of the island. So glad I did.

Take that Thanos! (I know! Lame! But fun!) Thanks for stopping by.

the chilly atlantic

Definitely too cold for a swim, and too cold for my feet! Perhaps in the summer.

the landing

Let’s bring back Art Deco! Part of the charm and beauty of Jones Beach is the beautiful buildings and bath houses in the Art Deco style. The Landing is a restaurant at Jones Beach.

at the boardwalk… and the shore

Another moment from our day spent at the shore. Thanks for stopping by.

The second post from a walk on the boardwalk at Jones Beach. The Boardwalk Cafe is a recent fine addition to the Art Deco architecture (Jones Beach was created in 1929).
