visiting the Gates of Heaven

 My annual enjoyment of Schenectady’s blossoms is never complete without a visit to the wonderful weeping cherry blossom trees at Congregation Gates of Heaven, located at 852 Ashmore Avenue along Eastern Parkway, near the Niskayuna town line.   Whether viewing the entire display when approaching on the lawn, or savoring the blossoms and limbs, and glimpsing the sky, from under its canopy, the serenity is palpable.

The photos in this posting were taken near 7 pm on Friday, April 17.
