An Autumn Sunday Drive
Ben Ashby
Sundays in autumn are best spent on drives through the mountains and country side. This Sunday we took a drive along The Hudson. The week before we had noticed several spots along the route that were picture perfect. The eastern side of the Hudson has long been the home to vast estates and quaint small towns. Cold Springs has recently become a favorite of ours after an unexpectedly pleasant visit to the town along the river that truly feels like Stars Hallow come to life. The area is also home to FDR’s Presidential Library, homes owned by the Vanderbilts and Rockafelle’s and historic homes along the river, many dating back to the beginnings of the United States. Highway 9D is a must travel road during the autumn season. Plan on frequent leaf peeping stops and visits to the tiny towns that dot the highway. These are a few of the images I shot over the weekend.
The church shots just below are from Warwick, New York…which is on the western side of the Hudson River.
