Poets’ Walk, Barrytown, New York

Waxing nostalgic I found some of my old architectural shots on the net (these were lost to me when out New York house was sold).

The site is by the the architect and his firm, Optimus Architecure. David Souers and his wife are former clients who I hated to have to stop working for. David is now based in Rhinebeck, New York.

Having lost the originals it was great to see work that I was proud of and that would have grown better if I had skipped the heart attack and wasn’t disabled. I would like to share some with stories, slowly.

More later about this shot from Poets’ Walk on the Hudson River in Barrytown, New York. It is a magical place and David Souer makes it more so with deceptively simple shelters, paths and wonderful views.

More on Poets’ Walk by Scenic Hudson Foundation later.

This is not to do with the voyages of Admiral Zheng He decades before Columbus.

It is a wonderful astro-photograph of the Large Magellanic Cloud © Wei-Hao Wang, astrophotographer. He works with the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy.

I was re-reading my own recent article, “Will Blogging Make You Blind? (see my post of 6 April and the link to Blogcritics.) I am not sure if it is the culprit for some vision problems but, still, I have not been writing enough and posting enough and I miss it. I do like sharing these especially successful astro photos.

The source for the photo was, as is often the case, The Astronomical Picture of the Day from NASA.
