Schunnemunk in Autumn, schunnemunk in Spring

The first hike of 2008 and the last hike of 2007 were both at the same location: Schunnemunk Mountain, close to both the Hudson and the Westpoint Military Academy, about an hour's drive north of New York. It was really great to get out of the city again - small things like the colours and the textures of tree trunks were fascinating; it felt as though I were in a refreshing sensual shower, even though the landscapes showed no sign of spring. Here are some photos from this year:

















And these ones are from last year's Autumn trip; I never got around to posting them.
