………………………..This morning the sunrise was so beautiful. As the sun came up the colors on the clouds got deeper and more orange and pink. God’s wonder. For my Long Island Ladies do you know the smoke stacks in the pictures?…………………….Have a beautiful day!…………………..much Love……………..Louis
I live in Huntington (next to Northport), and we all call them “the stacks.” Eyesores, to be sure!!! But, it’s such a beautiful area. Privileged to live here.
Smokestacks are in Northport
Such beautiful pictures! Just love the glorious colors! I can’t wait until Mr. Wonderful and I can cruise again….that’s what these pictures remind me of…..Thank you for sharing, Louis!
Stay safe! Diana
Beautiful!! There is nothing so awesome as a glorious sunrise—or sunset like that I think. Thanks for sharing your beauty!!
What a beautiful view! I can see you sipping your coffee and enjoying God’s artwork. What a lovely way to start the day. Gray skies here today, but that’s how it is most of the winter. I cheer for the sunny days! Hugs to you!
Some sunshine would be very welcome almost anywhere right now. And, yes; it is Northport. Sheesh, you must also be familiar with those stacks on the east side of Cayuga Lake in Ithaca as well. Equally jarring.
April, is that the coal plant in Lansing, NY on Cayuga Lake, just north of Ithaca, which is now closed now, thankfully? I graduated from Cornell Law in 1986 and don’t have any memory of the coal plant, but both my sons were teenagers at the time (my oldest graduated from Ithaca High School when I graduated law school) and I will ask them what they recall of it. I lived on Triphammer Road in Cayuga Heights and I don’t recall seeing the stacks, which would have been 16 miles up the lake, but I (single since the 70’s) was too busy with law school classes and two teen-aged boys to be driving around seeing any of the sites. I did make it a point to go to my son’s Varsity Soccer games, no matter what, though, otherwise it was between law school and home.
Louis, I grew up on Long Island on the North Shore in Suffolk County. As I recall, LILCO was not forthcoming with what they were actually doing there, between Asharoken Beach and Crabmeadow Beach, at the time and people were outraged when they eventually found out, but could not stop it. I was there for all the dredging, but had moved to CT before the actual construction of the stacks. They had may barges (to put the dredged sand) near the shore off Asharoken Beach in Northport and they were lined up short end to short end which, with their sloped ends) created small tunnels. My boyfriend, who lived right on the beach, and I (in summer of 1965) would take his Boston Whaler into those little tunnels to get out of the sun—and out of sight—for little make-out sessions! Oh to be young!
Louis, it’s Northport! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northport_Power_Station#:~:text=The%20four%20enormous%20smoke%20stacks,feet%20(180%20m)%20tall.
Northport, Louis? Beautiful photo.
I believe so Elaine….never been anywhere near these stacks
Have friends and family on Eatons Neck, so it was just a guess.
Happy Weekend….would love to see what you had planned for us this season.
Elaine. Eatons Neck is just west of the stacks. I spent a lot of time at Eatons Neck as a kid. It was very sparsely populated back then. We’d mostly go over by boat from Northport Harbor, sometimes by car. There was Hobart Beach there, but we’d go to the island called Sand City and play in the ruins.
Roslyn?
I have no idea….All I can be sure of is it’s the North Shore…..LOL
One of those glorious sunrises that you will never forget.
