A wide angle and intimate shot near Hog Pen seemed to “animate the emotions” of this tree to me.

The best weather for landscape photography is nearly always scattered clouds and yesterday was no exception. I left my house amid the dark predawn hours in hopes of “striking gold” with a vivid morning sky and ended up getting rewarded.
Here is a video on the creation and controversy surrounding the creation of Round Valley Reservoir – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhkUyQh_P60

Palisades Cliffs and Hudson River
Palisades Cliffs and Hudson River, Alpine New Jersey, December 2021
This photo was taken during a recent hike of the Giant Stairs which is not for the fainted hearted.

The Stateline Lookout Area located on the Palisades Interstate Parkway is a nice roadside attraction to view these impressive cliffs. I also recommend a stop inside the Stateline Lookout Cafe.

A vivid morning sky was enough motivation for me to sprint out to the backyard to grab a few shots.
