Awosting Falls has turned into an ice volcano thanks to months of cold weather here in New York, and I was able to make it out there this weekend ahead of a blizzard hitting the northeast. The waterfall, at 63-feet high, has been cut in half now with a mountain of ice and snow below. Plenty of water is still …

A few winter snapshots
January has been brutally cold here in New York and I haven’t gotten out as much as I’d hoped. Here’s a couple of quick recent photos though — above is the moon during the final sunset of 2014, taken on New Year’s Eve with a 400mm lens. Below are some scenes I spotted locally:
Navy makes it 13 straight in 17-10 win over Army
Navy kept its long-running streak alive this past weekend with a 17-10 victory over Army in the 115th meeting between the two rival service academies. Navy claimed the W on a controversial goal line touchdown run by quarterback Keenyn Reynolds, and Army’s offense couldn’t quite mount a comeback despite a late 53-yard field goal setup an onside kick in the …
Dixon helps Army hold off Fordham
Army fullback Larry Dixon had a career day to lead an Army rushing attack that ran for 384 yards on Nov. 22. Dixon matched his personal best with three touchdowns and became the fourth player in academy history to rush for more than 3,000 yards in his career. He also eclipsed 1,000 yards on the season with his 158-yard effort. …

Air Force cruises past Army for CIC Trophy
Army’s first academy test in the Jeff Monken era ended in disappointment on Saturday as the Black Knights’ offense struggled to move the ball in a 23-6 loss to Air Force at Michie Stadium in West Point.

9/11 Tribute in Light lights up Manhattan again
We were lucky to have a nice clear night here in New York for the September 11 “Tribute in Light” memorial this year. The annual 9/11 memorial consists of 88 lights that reach four miles up into the sky over lower Manhattan. For the most part, I was totally alone tonight along the edge of the Hudson looking for angles …
Army holds off Buffalo State in Monken’s debut
Army kicked off its first season under new head coach Jeff Monken with an eye-opening victory over Buffalo, a team that walked into Michie having scored 38 points in a win the week before. Army fumbled and turned over the ball on the second play of the Monken era, and while you could hear the groans begin, they didn’t last …
