Suagerties, NY. It was a very hot summer day, my kids took off their shoes and socks and played with the sand and cooled off at this beautiful lake in saugerties, NY.
Water-Based Industry

The Hudson River was the major water route from the interior of North America. Saugerties became a busy port for passsenger and commercial boats. The C. Vanderbilt was the first steamboat to ply the waters between Saugerties and New York City. By 1830 the village warranted a steamboat line - a night boat for freight and one for passengers to New York City. The steamboat Ansonia (later called the Robert A. Snyder) began its service in 1865 and remained on the Hudson for sixty-five years. The Saugerties and New York Steamboat Company was incorporated on January 29, 1889 by Henry L. Finger, Robert A. Snyder, James and William Maxwell, and John and George Seamon. The Shenandoah, renamed the Saugerties in 1889, and the Ida, were also major steamboats from Saugerties.





The Saugerties caught fire at the dock one evening and was towed to Lighthouse Cove, where remnants can still be seen at low tide. Rumors about an untapped cask of rum sent many a thirsty explorer into its depths over the years.



After river traffic declined in the 1930s the steamboat dock facilities were taken over by Cornelius Lynch who still operates a marina there.

I like your PoV here, Sandra. The cable pole gets lost amidst the trees, but the reflection of the cables gives its position away - which is a pity for the scenery. Not for your photo, though. You managed excellent detail here. I love the colours in the shot, and the cool reflection.

Hi Sandra,
I like the very clear and sharp mirror reflections - though I think the sky is slightly over-exposed..

Well done anyway. Best regards, Daniel

Hi Sandra.

You captured the reflection so well. This picture has excellent sharpness. Very colorful, very nice light.
