Angry skies whip the wind and churn the normally tranquil Ashokan Reservoir into a frenzy. I attempt to capture this incredible display of raw fury until I am forced to flee.
Part of the New York City Water System, Ashokan Reservoir is framed by the majestic Catskill Mountains and close to Woodstock, NY. New York City has some of the cleanest, best tasting city water in the entire country, thanks to the system of reservoirs that until very recently required no filtration before reaching the faucets of "the City".

There are many vistas to admire along the many path on the ground of the Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, New York located in the Catskill Mountains. This lone tree "on the edge" seemed to have become one with the fence along the path.
