From the Ottauquechee to the Hudson


Sunset fell around 4 p.m. today on the Hudson River, north of West Point.  I took this picture, with Storm King Mountain looming over the darkening river from a point in Cold Spring, N.Y.  Elizabeth and I traveled down the Connecticut River Valley today, turning southwest through the watersheds of the Quinnipiac and Housatonic Rivers, and then into that of the Hudson.

Rumor has it that propane tanks swept into the Ottauquechee by Tropical Storm Irene were found up the Hudson River, whose tidal zone reaches past Storm King Mountain and still can be measured in Albany.
