Sunken Meadow State Park

We have filled to capacity and are now closed.

It was supposed to be an excellent mornng to enjoy the sunrise at Sunken Meadow. Clouds got the better of us. But better a little bit of sunrise than none at al...l. The clouds broke up a little for some nice, albeit inconsistent, light at Heckscher and Belmont. An early morning photo shoot, even with unexpected clouds, is always satisfying. Enjoy the photos! BTW...check out the "big sky" pics... See more
