Thanks for the compliment, Kelly. A note on the bridge stone work. It is similar to the bridges on the Meadowbrook Parkway of Long Island. I know Robert Moses was the force behind that parkway. He might have been behind the Taughannock Park road bridge as well.

Those are breathtaking. I suppose now, snow-covered, inaccessible?

This trail stays open, to a point. Some shots are from the closed sections and closed even without snow.

Yesterday was sunny and pleasant, but in know what you mean. So happy for those days last summer I read a book the whole day in a chair under a tree.
