Dusk From The GAL

|

The closed GAL (Greater Albany Landfill) in the Albany Pine Bush at 385 feet above sea level is almost as high as some of the highest dunes in Pine Bush and with just a grass cover, makes for a good place to view the sunset, especially on Saturday evening when the landfill is closed.

Heavy, Wet Snow Dropping Out of Sky

Saturday was weird with heavy wet flakes of snow dropping out of sky while I walked down to the library. Two minutes earlier it was blue skies, followed by heavy snow showers.
