Sky Watch from NYC to DC

The weather for the last week has been a bit like the sign..up and down...nice blue skies, then rain....
from the peninsular Inwood Park
and an Inwood sunset!
more blue NY skies
and some from our trip down to DC....


some of these images were taken out a bus window...


If anyone can tell us what was in the pile of white stuff? Sand, salt? Where did we see that, near Baltimore I think.

I was curious about that big pile of white stuff also, It sure looked like a snow mountain to me!! What exactly is it? Haven't ever seen a teeter-tatter sign either. Does that mean there is a playground near by? Really enjoyed browsing through your pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Great shots. I love the water tower and that last shot of the Marriot. I thought that white hill was covered in snow too.

The seesaw sign was in the first shot...yes, there was a playground nearby at Inwood!

So far I haven't been able to research the pile of white stuff...definitely wasn't a snow capped mountain!

Thank you for all your visits and encouraging comments

I am sure its salt for when it snows .. odd its still standing around outside not stored away in a silo

Did you love DC .. its an amazing city with SO much to see .. you also must someday visit both Philadelphia and Boston to get a feel for what this country was like when it began ...

What an incredibly interesting place... it holds such neat things to see. I did also think that big white pile was a snow mountain at first!
