One of the things you will see paddling along the Hudson River in a kayak is a lot of Great Blue Herons along the shoreline. They like fish, and outside of the cities, the river is often quite quiet and undeveloped.

And beyond it at the Lansingburgh Hill.

The sun was putting it some nice backlighting, as the rain storm passes towards Lansingburgh.

In South Troy, as the rain finally passes and it starts to clear up out on the river.
