My Morning Walk

Roosevelt Park is the oldest park in the Middlesex County Park System, dating back to 1917. Set in the midst of a highly developed area, Roosevelt Park is Edison’s answer to New York City’s Central Park. Here park visitors can enjoy 217 acres of majestic trees complimented by a picturesque eight acre lake just perfect for fishing, walking, jogging, or riding your bike around the paved pathway around the lake.

The Path To The Milky Way

This photo was taken at the New Jersey Shore. The Atlantic Ocean can be seen in the far background and I love the composition: The path leading to the Ocean and bringing us closer to the stars. Let's not forget we are made of star dust! The Milky Way is our galaxy, our home. It is visible in a dark clear night. Its name "milky" is derived from its appearance, as a dim glowing band arching across the sky whose individual stars cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. Surrounded by mystery, many ancient cultures created innumerable legends to explain its origin but it was Galileo Galilei the first to see individual stars with his telescope in 1610.

Gently Falling Down

Some striking contrast can be seen in this picture, between the black and white and all shades of grey and also between the flowing smooth waters and the dark, sharp rocks.

Fireworks At Sunset 2 (Liberty Township)

This was possibly one of the loviest locations I have been to photographs fireworks, Liberty township is a small, quaint town but well worth the drive. The fireworks were spectacular and really colorful. In addition, the magnificent sky helped enhance the overall beauty of the scene.

Sunset in Bayonne

In Bayonne, near the Hudson River, the sun is setting behind the Bayonne Golf Club. The clubhouse, located high upon the dunes, is silhouetted by the beautiful warm orange clouds in the sky contrasting with the cool blue colors of the water. The club is home to a water-front golf course designed to rival the look and feel of the legendary links courses of Scotland and Ireland.

Barnegat Light At Sunset

Barnegat Lighthouse or Barnegat Light, colloquially known as "Old Barney", captured at sunset. The lighthouse was commissioned on January 1, 1859. One of the most beautiful lighthouses in New Jersey sits at the northern end of Long Beach Island along the Barnegat inlet. The inlet is a small inlet connecting the Barnegat Bay with the Atlantic Ocean in Ocean County, New Jersey. It separates Island Beach State Park and the Barnegat Peninsula from Long Beach Island. On January 1, 2009, at 5:00 pm, the 150th anniversary of its opening, Barnegat Lighthouse activated its beacon for the first time since before World War II. The light now operates daily from dusk until dawn.

Still Sleeping

Although the sun is rising, and the sky is beautiful, the boats are still waiting for their owners to come and get ready to sail.

Sunrise Reflections

Swamp areas can be full of surprises and being there at the right time can be very rewarding. At this particular time of the day, the sun was rising behind the trees and the grassy areas and the vibrant colors of the sky were also beautifully reflected on the water.

Autumn Colors (Plainsboro)

This bench was certainly placed strategically. It is an invitation to pause and sit down, relax and enjoy the view, away from the hectic life and the commuter rush, and waiting for the sunset. The changing colors of the trees during the fall are not to be missed.

Sunrise At The Pier

The Jersey Shore has beautiful locations and this is one of them. Early in the morning, when the sun rises, I get to share moments like this not only with my fellow photographers, but with fishermen too. It is also nice to be surrounded by seagulls and other shore birds that are just waking up and looking for food

Early Walk (Sunrise Under Pier)

It is really worth it to get up so early in the morning to walk on the beach and witness an spectacular sunrise. And even better if the sun rises under the pier so the sunrays can be nicely captured.

The Power Of The Wind

There is no need to explain what happens when you stand in front of a jetty by the ocean on a windy day! Add a beautiful sunrise into the equation and, as they say, a photograph is worth a thousand words.
