Croton Dam spillway from Croton Gorge Park in Westchester County, NY.
The soothing sounds of the Croton Dam's spillway taken from Croton Gorge Park down below. Recorded August 2, 2014.
Croton Gorge Park is a 97-acre property at the base of the Croton Dam, located in Westchester County, New York, and affords impressive views of the dam and spillway.
The park is a popular spot for fishing, picnicking and hiking, with direct trail access to New York State’s Old Croton Aqueduct, which begins here. In winter, the park is a favorite spot for cross-country skiing and sledding.
The Croton River also begins here. The bridge that spans the Croton River and affords the best view of the spectacular spillway is once again open to the public after a repair project.
The Old Croton Dam, built to supply New York City with water, was the first large masonry dam in the United States. Completed in 1842, it was the prototype for many municipal water supply dams in the east during the mid-nineteenth century. The city’s needs, however, soon outgrew the Croton Dam water supply. Consequently, work began on the New Croton Dam, also called the Cornell Dam because of its location on land purchased from A.B. Cornell, in 1893. Completed in 1907, the Cornell Dam stands over 200 feet high. The Croton Reservoir has a capacity of about 34 billion gallons of water with a watershed covering 177 square miles.
The Dam at Croton Gorge Park
Croton Gorge Park. A park I've visited a few times. The last time I was there the water was calm. This time as I was driving into the park, I was getting hit with the mist from the waterfall. In my last video from the park. I flew through the fall. This time was the day after major thunderstorms. And the water was rough in the fall. A heavy mist was kicking up from the fall. The sun and the clouds were playing hide and seek. It was also a chilly day. And I had to get a look at the dam. I use to visit this area with my family when I was younger. Almost every summer. My Father used to love these trips. So I had to put the bird up and get some shots of the fall colors. Happy 84th. Birthday Dad.

summer in otisco (narrated version)
I decided to capture those parts of life in the town of Otisco, NY that exemplify what our little town is all about, at least during the summer months and at least to me.
Captured on the Canon 7d using 16-35mm and 24-105mm lenses along with the Singh-ray VariND filter for the several time lapse sequences.

Abandoned, Vacant, and Re-purposed places in the Northeast
Here are the stories of these places:
Dunkirk Generating Station: Closed at the end of 2015
Lake Street Bridge: Closed in 2011 due to structural deficiencies, but is going to reopen in the future to pedestrians and cyclists once repairs occur.
St. Cabrini Novitiate: Directly behind the St. Cabrini nursing home, built in the early 1900's.
Steel Point: This vacant lot has plans to be redeveloped in the future.
Centralia: Near-ghost town in Columbia County, PA, due to an underground mine fire directly underneath the borough. The fire started in 1962, and after several failed attempts to extinguish it, most residents were moved out, and most buildings were razed in 1992.
Graffiti Highway: One road leading into Centralia was damaged by the mine fire, and the state eventually built another road around it, and stopped repairing it.
Flight 93 National Memorial: One of the four hijacked flights from September 11th, 2001 landed here. The visitor center opened in 2015.
Water Tower: This is the last remaining building/structure from the Anaconda Wire and Cable Company factory on the waterfront in Hastings-on-Hudson. There are plans to redevelop the area in the future, and possibly with keeping the water tower.
Wilmington Riverwalk: Old cranes were placed on the Riverwalk at Dravo Plaza.
Hermit Ruins: Irvington Hermit Johann Stolting built small buildings in the Irvington Woods in the 1880's. Many ruins, as well as his grave, are still there.
GM Plant: The land between Kingsland Point and downtown Sleepy Hollow was filled in for a General Motors plant, which closed in the 1990's. It is currently being redeveloped.
Old Croton Aqueduct: The first aqueduct carrying water from the Croton River to New York City was built in 1837 and operated until 1955, when a new aqueduct rendered it obsolete.
Asbury Park Casino: The building fell into ruins, and the carousel was moved out in the 1980's. It is still being fixed up.
Long Point: Former fishing town. All residents had moved out by the end of the 1950's, by sailing their houses across the harbor into downtown Provincetown. The lighthouse remains, but the area is only used as a beach.
Ellis Island: Major US immigration station from 1892 to 1964. Became a museum in 1990. A 1998 Supreme Court ruling determined that most of the island is officially in New Jersey.
Godfrey Windmill: Built in 1797, but was mostly shut down in the early 1900's. Repaired several times, and is now part of Chase Park in Chatham.
Knobley Tunnel: Former railway tunnel, reopened in 2011 to pedestrian and cyclist traffic.
SteelStacks: Former home of Bethlehem Steel, which closed in 2003. It has been transformed into a museum.

March Through Westchester County (suburban New York)
In this 1996 clip, through Croton-on-Hudson, New York, I am driving on a bad day, with the camera in my hand, somehow managing a stick shift. I did not add music to this one, relying instead on my car radio and the sounds of nature.
We end up, as usual at Riverview Farm. The river view was in the winter, only!

New York City Buildings from water - youtube.com/tanvideo11
- New York City, the largest city in the United States, is home to 5,845 completed high-rises, 97 of which stand taller than 600 feet (183 m). The tallest building in New York is the under-construction One World Trade Center, which rises 1,776 feet (541 m) and was topped out on May 10, 2013. The 104-story skyscraper will also stand as the tallest building in the United States and the Western Hemisphere upon its completion in late 2013. The tallest completed building in the city is the 102-story Empire State Building in Midtown Manhattan, which was finished in 1931 and rises to 1,250 feet (381 m), increased to 1,454 feet (443 m) by its antenna. It also is the fourth-tallest building in the United States and the 23rd-tallest building in the world. The Empire State Building stood as the tallest building in the world from its completion until 1972, when the 110-story North Tower of the original World Trade Center was completed. At 1,368 feet (417 m), One World Trade Center briefly held the title as the world's tallest building until the completion of the 108-story Sears Tower (now known as the Willis Tower) in Chicago in 1974. The World Trade Center towers were destroyed by terrorist attacks in 2001, and the Empire State Building regained the title of tallest building in the City. The third-tallest building in New York is the Bank of America Tower, which rises to 1,200 feet (366 m), including its spire. Tied for fourth-tallest are the 1,046-foot (319 m) Chrysler Building, which was the world's tallest building from 1930 until 1931, and the New York Times Building, which was completed in 2007.
New York skyscrapers are concentrated in Midtown and Lower Manhattan, although other neighborhoods of Manhattan and the boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx also have significant numbers of high-rises. As of January 2011, the entire city has 228 buildings that rise at least 500 feet (152 m) in height, including those under construction, more than any other city in the United States.
