I went up to Sleepy Hollow on Saturday with a Long Island photography group. We spent some time shooting in the old cemetery, as well as at a small light house on the Hudson River. It was a cold day, but we had a good group and got some good photos.

The cold wind on the Hudson was brutal! Felt like it was blowing around 40+ mph. The water splashing up around the light house was actually freezing on the rocks. I doubt even Kenny would have been comfortable in shorts. :wink:

Yes, I did walk out and around the light house. Yes, it was colder and windier out on the water. :shock:

It's an interesting area, one that I will definitely return to in better (i.e., warmer) conditions.

John, if you ever want to do some photography on the water(when it's warmer), shoot me a PM, I have a boat on the Hudson. I was around Sleepy Hollow yesterday too.

I am strangely drawn to graveyards... There's a few hidden in the woods by me.
