(May 28) I’ve passed through Northport hundreds of times on the LIRR, but today was the first time I set foot on Northport soil.
Northport Bay
It looks like any other Long Island marina
The village resembles Port Jefferson
Except Northport apparently had a streetcar
And there in the middle of suburbia… a farm
With goats
And chickens

(Oct 24) The end of two long walks. pseudoreal is now current; I am at the present end of my photos. The last time this happened was probably July 2011, just prior to the arrival of the Canon T3i.
Bright Beginnings with dead ends
I begin a seven mile walk home from the train station, with a heavy backpack. There was surprisingly little worth photographing for such a long walk.
It seems there is a chicken farm in Holbrook
The sign says “Fresh Killed Daily”
“Be Careful”
Because there’s a gas farm in Holtsville.

(Aug 8) I find myself back in Pennsylvania farm country for the second time in a year, on completely unrelated business. This time, it was a visit to the jerky factory. I didn’t take any photos at the factory.
I hardly took any at all actually.
It doesn’t take long before the city fades into farmland.
The obligatory horse drawn buggy shot
And other horses
We left so early it was barely mid-afternoon when we passed through the city again on the way home.

(Feb 21) Last time I was in Pennsylvania, it was to see Pete’s grandmother. This time, it was to pick up inventory for Pete’s store. Although it superficially appears to be farmland, in fact Pennsylvania was created by British King Charles II, who named it for Admiral Penn and and the ancient Japanese word for consumer electronics, leading Penn’s son William to open the world’s largest, and only factory direct Sylvania electronics superstore in the colonies.
We’re not in New York anymore
We’re in the land of free air
And farms
And cows
And silos
And more cows
And Windmills
And more road
And lots of river
It’s pretty scenery
Being February, it still gets dark early
America’s Favorite Nuclear Accident Site
Twilight approached
We visited a few more farms before heading out
Turkey Hill is serious business
If you feel enlightened by my story of William Penn, I have a bridge for sale. Slightly used.

One more trip out east to deliver firewood. Not what most out of towners think of when someone says the Hamptons.
It doesn’t often get cold enough here for ice skating
The area is strewn with modern art brought in or made by Manhattanites
There are though still farms of various kinds
And bits of times gone by remain.
