Today (Saturday) I went for a hike. The weather was in my
favor and I was visiting a friend away from the city anyway so I thought why
not do a little exploring. I went to the Stateline lookout point in New Jersey,
and in the photo I took; I’m looking back out at New York. It was a magnificent
view-for the most part. I don’t want to take away from the day I was grateful
to have, but let’s notice a few things in this photo. First, the color of the
water. This is the Hudson River and what I know it as is brown murky-ness,
while there’s a bit of a blue reflection from the sky, this water is no where
near as vibrant as it could be. As I ventured out on one of the trails, I got
bored, so I wondered a little off trail and closer to the ridge. I was excited
and felt special that no one else would be around, but of course, someone had
been there before, and they left their markings behind in articles of trash. I
started to pick it up along the way and wished I had brought a few garbage bags
and volunteers with me to do a cleanup. Seeing effects that were long put in to
place before I got there wasn’t the greatest, but at the same time, I’m only
one person-how much could I really do at this point?
