The post before this one shows the same photographs in color. I like them both ways. I think I’m leaning more towards black and white.

Ice on the Hudson

Freezing temperatures led to the Hudson River icing over. It is even thicker now and an ice breaker was sent to clear a path. Marc and I photographed it on January 28.

NYBG Train Show 2 of 2

That these buildings at the Holiday Train Show® | New York Botanical Garden are made of plant material is amazing. I love the huge leaf roof on the TWA building. The airplanes are fun too.

NYBG Train Show Buildings 1 of 2

I photographed these at the Holiday Train Show® | New York Botanical Garden. The last three photographs are of places where I briefly acted as a tour guide. At that time, I was an Urban Park Ranger (1989 to 1991). When we opened the Little Red Lighthouse – Wikipedia to visitors, I met an old fellow. He used to swim there before the George Washington Bridge was built in 1931.

At the New York Botanical Garden’s Holiday Train Show there are creative sculptures and decorations made of plant matter. Most of them are in the outdoor area.

This year’s Holiday Train Show® | New York Botanical Garden is huge. It starts outside the Conservatory Garden, then through an outdoor tent, and finally through the Conservatory. The buildings and sculptures are made of plant parts. I’ll be posting more about the show.
