Little house in the woods by the the Hudson River Bridge at Riparius metal canvas acrylic wall art

Hi everyone, Alec Halstead here! As many of you know, photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. Capturing moments and sharing them with friends, family, and anyone who appreciates the beauty around us has always been my joy.

Recently, a good friend purchased an abandoned Adirondack grand camp, an old, sprawling lodge nestled deep in the woods. He’s been working tirelessly to restore it to its former glory, and a few weeks ago, I joined him to lend a hand. We worked from dawn until dusk, the quiet wilderness our constant companion. By the end of the day, my muscles ached, but my soul felt alive, steeped in the serenity of the surroundings.

Three weeks ago, my wife and I returned to the camp—not to work, but to simply enjoy the tranquility. The Adirondacks in autumn are unparalleled. Dawn greeted us with crisp air and vibrant foliage—the mountains ablaze with golds, reds, and oranges, shimmering in the morning light. We decided to explore and, a few miles from the camp, reached a bridge over the Hudson River—the Riparius bridge. Before crossing, a narrow back road caught our eye. We turned down the path, and after a gentle bend, the view stopped us in our tracks.

Before us stood a quaint little house nestled in the woods, with a clear stream weaving gracefully in front of it. The sun dipped behind the distant hills, casting everything in a golden glow. The silence was profound, broken only by the soft gurgle of the stream. I raised my camera, capturing a moment that felt like stepping into a dream.

Even now, back home, I can feel that crisp air, see the vibrant colors, and hear the soothing quiet every time I look at that photograph. Moments like these remind me why I’m so drawn to the Hudson River and the Adirondacks—why this wild, untamed place will always feel like home. . Production and Shipping Time:
