5A. PALISADES AT HOOK MOUNTAIN

Donald Hazen Brown Archive By Don Brown


NYACK, NY. To sketch these cliffs, I climbed down onto the rocks at the edge of the river. I wanted a vantage point that would emphasize the sheerness and towering heights of the cliffs. Dwarfed beneath these ancient Agelessly these cliffs of the Palisades along the Hudson River seem to mock all those who pass beneath them. They remind us that long before we graced them with our ephemeral presence they have, in their majestic way, towered over the river below. The Palisades have stood as sentinels since the last ice age thousands of years ago retreated northward. It left these monumental, craggy bluffs of rock and stone, to shepherd the water beneath them to its ocean destiny. Palisades we cannot escape the brevity of our presence.
