Speechless Sunday| How I long for the good old days

For years I have passed this Hudson NY old brick house, I knew it was old by the type of brick as well as the old tin roof. I suspect in the good old days it was probably th residence of someone with a bit of money. Okay I don't know the real story I just made that up :)

What I do know is that it was there before the cement factory. To the left of the house is an overpass which went directly to the cement factory, however, once the factory came about the old brick house no longer serviced the purpose of a residence.

This home certainly long for the good old days.

Traffic Stop

This was a unique traffic stop I encountered on the grounds of Olana.  This is a well know historic site and since you get around mostly by walking this wooden structure was put in place to deter any motorist from driving through.

I really like the way natural wood is utilized in this park - very noticeable in the fences and benches.

Wordless Wednesday-I could daydream all day

Scene at Olana

When friends come to visit it gives a good excuse for taking time to enjoy the view.  Life can get busy and we sometimes don't get the time to truly appreciate the area in which we live.  Taking the time to do so keeps me excited about the area and helps me to convey the many highlights of the Hudson Valley to those who may be thinking of relocating.  This view from Olana never gets old, and is a great spot to bring guests that come to visit.

Olana another Hudson Valley Historic Gem

Yesterday I wanted to take a walk so my husband and son accompanied me to the grounds at Olana.  This is one of the most beautiful properties in the area sited high above the Hudson River.  With the leaves off the trees I had an awesome view not just of the Hudson River but also of the Rip Van Winkle Bridge which connects the Greeport area to the Catskills.

What is Olana? It was once the home of Frederic Church of the Hudson River School of landscape painting.  And what a place to paint from; you couldn't  have asked for more spectacular views.  Church himself referred to the place as "The center of the world".

This property is now a historic site and is available for tours.  If you are planing a trip to the area this is certainly a place to see.  And if you are an artist it is a must.

 

The architecture has both Victorian and Persian influence
