Storm King Art Center

Our April 2008 visit to Storm King in New York's Hudson River Valley

It was a great day to visit the Storm King Art Center. While it was a bit cool and we experienced some rain showers early in our visit, the clouds gave us softer light for photography and the many sun breaks led to some beautiful skies.
