– Mohawk sunsets – June 21, 2009 –
Wherever you were this evening at sunset, on this first day of summer, I hope your views were as wonderful as ours here along the Mohawk, at Washington Ave. and Riverside Park, in Schenectady. [Friends at the Park said I got there a few minutes too late to catch the best part of the sunset show. I’m not, however, going to complain about the tail end of tonight’s Solstice-Father’s Day sunset.] I’m posting quite a few photos, and you can click on the most tempting, to see larger versions. Please enjoy.
Here are a few looking toward Scotia from Riverside Park:
. . . and, views from Washington Avenue
first eastward:
then westward:
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . and, finally, back in my backyard, behind 16 Washington Avenue, and Cucumber Alley:
It must be summer: I got my first mosquito bite snapping tonight’s sunset shots. It was worth it.
Yes, it’s worth it.
Happy to trade a mosquito bite for 11 photos
like yours.
Happy summer!

As usual, you are much too kind with your praise, Prof. Chang. I guess mosquitoes are far less a danger to us aging photographers than are locked knees and slipped discs. My opinion might change by August, when those pesky insects seem to be in charge along the banks of the Mohawk.
