Back In The Old Days

Back in the old days, in this case 1977, there were no such things as drones.  So when we had a long spell of bitter cold weather, I suggested that I go flying an see if I could find some interesting photographs of frozen harbors.  This was up in Oyster bay.  I would just fly around at 1000 feet and look all around until I found something interesting.  This is a meandering creek that has frozen over.  I love that it looks like a dragon.  I stumbled across this 35mm color slide by accident the other day, and so made a digital copy of it and here it is for you to see. This was one of a number of aerial photographs I did that ran in four issues of the Newsday Sunday Magazine, called "The Seasons From The Air."
