Hudson River Valley

This week has been spent exploring the lower Hudson River Valley, the part of New York state immediately to the west of Connecticut.  This is Philipsburg Manor House and its mill, seen across a small pond.

Nearby is Kykuit, the impressive family estate of the Rockefeller family.  An hour north is the Storm King Art Center, 500 acres of rolling meadows and forests, with large-scale modern sculpture placed around.  This is Iliad by Alexander Liberman, from 1974-1976.

This post is linked to Weekend Reflections.

Tomorrow will include a visit to Franklin Roosevelt's home and library in Hyde Park, then on to dinner with friends in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, before returning to West Hartford.
