Derelict Treasures

countryvistas@wildblue.net (Country Vista Studios) — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 17:19:12 GMT

]]>"One Man's junk is another Man's Treasure"!

This gallery will be filled with those old derelict finds as I travel through the Catskill Mountains and surrounding areas of upstate New York, USA. If you have the courage to watch for bears and snakes, rotted floorboards and falling ceilings, along with the wisdom to keep your ears open for a warning shot fired in the air...then there is much to be found in the way of time worn years left behind to rot!

This is a fun gallery for the most part, should you be interested in any of the images here please contact me via email at heronjourney@wildblue.net and I will arrange for you to view the images on my sales sites.

All images in this gallery have been highly edited and defined for impact in Photoshop with Topaz filters.

ENJOY!

Catskill Mountain Nostalgia

countryvistas@wildblue.net (Country Vista Studios) — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 10:27:31 GMT

]]>The Catskill Mountains during the 1920's-1970's, were alive, filled with summer visitors, working hotels, boarding houses, and bungalow colonies available to the summer guests seeking refuge from the hot and steamy streets of New York City.
The area is about 250 square miles, about 90 miles from NYC. Since after the Civil War, the scenery and mountain air has been an attraction to the mountains here in the Catskills. Little at a time, folks from the city looked to settle in the countryside here to escape the unhealthy aspects of tenement living in the city. They bought farms to house their families, which lead to opening their homes to other city folk looking to spend time in the mountains. As a few dollars were made renting rooms, which meant shifting family members to other parts of the premise. As businesses grew, new structures were built and hotels came to be. The rest is history.
Many good times were had as families from the city spent summers in the area, relaxing and enjoying the country air.
Not much remains today, but what is available will be updated in this gallery on a regular basis with detail that is available. Enjoy yourself as we travel the Catskill Mountains of New York, USA
