Pictures of Beacon

1) From the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge, looking south toward Long Dock .
2)Also from the bridge, looking down the railroad. That's an MTA train headed to New Hamburgh, then ultimately, Poughkeepsie. Those are water chestnuts growing along the shore.

3)Two cormorants are facing each other on pilings. They, and loons, are my favorite birds.

4)Water chestnuts, also known as water caltrops.

5)The view to the south from the tip of Denning's point.
