The Octagon is just before Lighthouse Park at the northern tip of Roosevelt Island. The second picture is a view inside looking up at the dome. I enhanced the skies in some of these.

We all had fun making photographs with the puddles. A gull stepped in and posed for us.






Another trip with Sierra Photo NYC – New York City Sierra Club Photography Committee. It was a gloomy day, but I didn’t mind because it adds atmosphere. I have 5 posts on this topic. The first 5 I photographed from the tram on the way from Manhattan to Roosevelt Island.










A few of the other plants we saw that day.









Mostly single and pink orchids.







Single orchids – mostly yellow ones.






Slipper and Spider orchids. And a few I don’t know.








The first 5 are by me and the rest are by Marc. I used a macro lens on a Nikon Z7 and he used his Samsung S22 cell ph0ne.
