| The Katherine Walker |
As I came down the block I saw the Coast Guard buoy tender Katherine Walker - WLM 552 - pulling up the Hudson River 2 channel marker - a flashing 3 meter tower. I ran upstairs , grabbed my camera, and watched them lowering a small nun - an ice buoy - in anticipation of the coming freeze. The location: the North River - just off West 181 Street above the George Washington Bridge. (click on images to enlarge)
