Little Stony Point
on April 22, 2008.
Little Stony Point is State Park on the other side of the Hudson River from Storm King Mountain with some amazing views of the mountain and Cold Spring. Had ConEdison got it's way, and built the Pump Storage Plant, this beautiful vista would never look the same. These are the pictures I took on that particular Tuesday in April.
