Y<\/strong><\/em>ou can often find me at the end of my block of Washington Ave. in Schenectady, gazing at the Mohawk River — with the Isle of the Cayugas<\/a> and the Village of Scotia across the way. Here are two full-color photos I took around 5 PM on the last two Saturdays. The promising early thaw of March 1st has yielded to days of rain, melted snow, and flood watches<\/a>. The lucky folk among us will find the beauty in both scenes. [Click to find more photos of ice jams, ice floes and flooding along the Mohawk<\/a> at Schenectady NY, at my weblog suns along the Mohawk.]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\" afterthoughts<\/em><\/strong> (May 31, 2008): Occasionally, when I take a weekend picture of the Mohawk (and the Isle of the Cayugas) from my backyard or the end of my block that I particularly like, I’m going to add it here, creating my own little riparian-neighborhood photo album. (You can click on each for a larger version.) update<\/strong><\/em>: For many more of my Mohawk River and Stockade sunsets, see my photoblog Suns Along the Mohawk<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n
