Last week on my early morning walk

I love the early morning’s on Kingston Point Beach.  Almost always the water is calm and it is very quiet.  As soon as the weather improves (when the water plus air temperature is above 100 degrees) this is where I will launch my boat for a lovely two mile row.

Here you see a barge pushing its cargo North towards Albany.  The seagulls vie for bits of food in the shallow waters of low tide.  In the distance the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge is shrouded with morning mist. Alot of people drive out here just to take in the peaceful scene.  It calms the mind before a long day of, well, whatever.
