On The Way Back




Census figures for the population of Peekskill, over 22,000 reveal a 12% growth, the largest growth of any city in Westchester County. Peekskill boasts a growing artist district as well as historic site preservation. Peekskill's continued growth in the technology -based business arena has enhanced the City's vibrant economic revitalization.


















As I stand on top of the high rocks trying to reach the best view of the peekskill with my Kodak digital camera, these two guys were asking " Are you doing a movie out of this scenery"? "No, I am simply picture taken"! I want a full view without anyone, I'd explained. Then my mother were walking in and out of the rocks, the guy said" you better tell her to get out of your way", my sister and I replied at once " That's my(her) mother!" LOL.........


Finally, plain view

There were extremely " mucho" motorcycle men that day......

Columbia University

From its beginnings in a schoolhouse in lower Manhattan, Columbia University has grown to encompass two principal campuses: the historic, neoclassical campus in the Morningside Heights neighborhood and the modern Medical Center further uptown, in Washington Heights. Today, Columbia is one of the top academic and research institutions in the world, conducting pathbreaking research in medicine, science, the arts, and the humanities. It includes three undergraduate schools, thirteen graduate and professional schools, and a school of continuing education.
Columbia University was founded in 1754 as King's College by royal charter of King George II of England. It is the oldest institution of higher learning in the state of New York and the fifth oldest in the United States.Controversy preceded the founding of the College, with various groups competing to determine its location and religious affiliation. Advocates of New York City met with success on the first point, while the Anglicans prevailed on the latter. However, all constituencies agreed to commit themselves to principles of religious liberty in establishing the policies of the College.

Prospect Park

Lefferts Historic House
The development of Prospect Park is one element in a vast historical context that includes wars, the dawn of the industrial age, and the shift of the population from rural to urban settings. Prospect Park has played an integral role in the cycles of urban growth, decline, and renewal of Brooklyn since the 1860s.
