BEECHMONT LAKE IN NEW ROCHELLE NEW YORK

New Rochelle (French: Nouvelle-Rochelle)is a city in the southeast portion of the U.S. state of New York in Westchester County, 16 miles (26 km) from Grand Central Terminal in New York City and 2 miles north of the NYC border (Pelham Bay Park in The Bronx). It lies on the Long Island Sound just east of Pelham / Pelham Manor and west of Larchmont/ The Town of Mamaroneck . Settled by refugee Huguenots (French Protestants) in 1688 who were fleeing tyrannical Catholic pogroms in France. Many of the settlers were artisans and craftsmen from the city of La Rochelle France who named their new colony "New Rochelle." It remained an artisen and craftsmen center for generations until the industrial revolution and 19th century immigration changed the economy and character of the region. Today it is mainly residential with some light industry. In 2000, the city had a population of 72,182. It is one of the largest suburbs of New York City, the seventh-largest city in the state of New York, and the second-largest city in Westchester County.

Quite idyllic this scene by the lake shore angela. The lights in and bt the building adds a little warmth to the blue, cold setting of the late day. Well made compo that maybe had worked as well with a little more crop to the right and bottom - using the tree more like a frame to the right.

Hi Angela...great colors and reflections here. Nicely composed.

Roger

Beautiful view and well photographed with the crystal clear water in front. I like the light in the photo, in particular. Well composed.

Hola Angela,
Muy bonita toma con estupendo encuadre. La luz casi en penumbras le da una buena atmósfera. Excelentes colores y reflejos.
Cordialmente
Charo

Not the best light, but the calm reflections compensate for that, beautiful house though. The image quality shows pixellation, probably as a result of resizing to TE dimensions.

Hi Angela,
Lovely late day winter capture of this stately old mansion making a striking reflection in the calm waters of the blue lake. The pale yellow of the home is wonderfully complimented by the dark blue of the lake.
Regards, Tom

Hi Angela !

I like the color of the house in the back of the picture.
The reflection is very interesting.

Nice Shot !

Adrien

Hey Angela,

A serene scenery, I like the composition, with the unique manor, the colors reflected are very wintery and they bring a sense of melancholy, the sharpness and reflections are also very nice.

Enjoy

Hi Angela,
I like the reflexion underlined by a very appropriate foreground. The composition is very good but if the colour offset to blue suits well the lake waters it could be warmed up a little (it's only my liking).
René.

angella

the shapes of the branches reflecting in the water created a nice view, the colored house in the middle of the greysh landscape is interesting too cause it attract our eyes to it, the trunk in the foreground make a nice view too

hugs
jorge
