Lyndhurst, also known as the Jay Gould estate, is a Gothic Revival country house that sits in its own 67-acre (27 ha) park beside the Hudson River in Tarrytown, New York, about a half mile south of the Tappan Zee Bridge on US 9. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
Designed in 1838 by Alexander Jackson Davis, the house was owned in succession by New York City mayor William Paulding, Jr., merchant George Merritt, and railroad tycoon Jay Gould. In 1961, Gould's daughter Anna Gould donated it to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. It is now open to the public.
The house was first named "Knoll", although critics quickly dubbed it "Paulding's Folly" because of its unusual design that includes fanciful turrets and asymmetrical outline. Its limestone exterior was quarried at Sing Sing in present day Ossining, New York.
Located in Westchester County, New York just a stone's throw away from the Hudson River shoreline is the Croton Aqueduct. This water system travels from the Croton Reservoir to New York City, and used to be the city's main source of freshwater. Today, the aqueduct is a pathway and maintained by The Friends Of The Old Croton Aqueduct historical group. Here in the town of Ossining, the aqueduct goes over a local road, which also goes over a small gorge. The Sing Sing Kill Greenway goes under these "double arches" and allows people to take a scenic walk through the gorge along a small stream. This stream, complete with a few small waterfalls, leads out into the Hudson River on the other side of town. Deemed "Ossining's Double Arches", it's a lovely sight to visit to appreciate old engineering and fascinating history.

This is a Park, one of the many that we got around here.
On this lake, a nature preserve, there was a sign with pictures showing the type of aquatic life that inhabited this sanctuary,
#1 was a cat fish
#2 was a little kind of fish
#3 was a funny type of frog.
#4 I forgot.
#5 was a nice looking turtle.
I wanted so badly to photograph the turtle and I could not find it.
So some kids walked by and I told them in a loud and demanding voice:
Look guys, I'll give you $500.00 dollars if you can spot me the turtle with the #5 in it's back....
Esta foto aqui eu fiz em um parque muito legal que temos por aqui, entre muitos outros que a cidade com carinho preserva.
Tinha uma praquinha com os desenhos dos bichinhos, pra ensinar pros meninos e pra gente que tipo de animais anfibious e repteis que habitam o mesmo.
No. 1 era um bagre.
No. 2 era um outro tipo de peixinho.
No. 3 era um sapinho lindo.
No. 4 eu esqueci.
No. 5 era uma tartaruga.
Eu estava louco para fotografar a tartaruga, mas eu nao conseguia localisa-las.
Ai eu tive uma ideia brilhante.
Uns meninos estavam passando por perto e eu disse em voz alta e em desafio.
Galera, vou dar pra voces $500,00 dolares, eh mesmo, 1200.00 reais, pra quem conseguir encontrar pra mim a tartaruga com o numero 5 nas costas.
Boa noite a todos.

After delivering a cut of stranded trash cars from Ossining to Croton West Yard, CSX Y102 returns south on Metro North's Hudson Line.
This view always takes me back.
I had just turned four, and it was one of those unusually warm days for April, standing by the water in my hometown of Ossining, looking out over the Hudson River as the sun started to go down. I didn’t understand much about life yet, but I remember the feeling like it was yesterday. Everything got quiet, and I just stood there watching, thinking about things I couldn’t even explain at the time. Questions like how, why, where just sat in my head.
That moment stayed with me. It may have looked like just another sunset, but it was more than that to me. That was the place that made me who I am. The place where my dreams were born.
There was something about being near the water, watching the sky change, that felt right. Like I was exactly where I was supposed to be. It gave me a kind of peace and curiosity I’ve been chasing ever since.
Even today, I know I don’t have all the answers. I’m still searching, still learning, and trusting God to lead me to wherever I’m meant to go next.
No matter where life takes me, this will always be home. Not just where I grew up, but where everything started for me. It’s a reminder that even when I don’t have all the answers, I’m still on the path I’m meant to be on.
