Local photographer Thomas McGuire captures Haverstraw from atop High Tor Mountain. High Tor towers above the Village of Haverstraw, which is nestled between the base of the peak and the Hudson River. Photo #2 is the old Haverstraw High School, today Haverstraw Middle School, seen from above – the school is celebrating its 75th Anniversary this year. The Haverstraw Community Garden, visible in the foreground of Photo #2 has been expanded by nearly 1/3 to make way for new garden plots and increased local food production.

In the top photo, you can see the curvature of the earth a bit. Westchester County is in the distance and beyond that, the Long Island Sound/Atlantic.
THANKS FOR POINTING THAT OUT!
Great picture Tom! It kind of reminds me of a rendition of “Christina’s World” except on a high mountaintop: http://www.moma.org/collection_images/resized/457/w500h420/CRI_165457.jpg .
