Home in the Hudson River Valley

by cruisingbug - last update: Mar 7, 2007

View from Boscobel trail, Garrison, NY
We live in the Hudson River Valley, which inspired an entire school of painting, from Cole's Journey of Life series to Durand's "Kindred Spirits" to Church's "Twilight in the Wilderness." (For a slide show, see http://www.dfl.highlands.com/DFL_Painters/698r.html)

This area has been our home since December 2000. Also home to former NY State Governor George Pataki. Our town, Garrison, has one school, one post office, one library, two golf courses. Bucolic scenery, a nice place to relax (two or maybe three - I'm not sure - monasteries have been located here). Garrison has beautiful views of the Hudson and West Point Military Academy across the river.

 How's the fall this year? Always wanted to go to NY in the fall when the trees shed its leaves. I've a friend living in Kisco. How far is that from your place?
