Mid Hudson Bridge at dawn sunrise bright color poster canvas print metal print hudson valley photography

I am Alec Halstead, a seasoned veteran and a keen observer of life's intricacies, I've traversed the globe, witnessing the rawest facets of human existence. Amidst the chaos and carnage, I've honed a unique perspective—a lens that captures both the ugliness and the beauty that coexist in our world.

One particular snapshot etched deeply in my memory is of the Mid Hudson Bridge, taken in the early hours of a crisp morning back in 2017. Exhausted from a grueling 12 hour night shift, I steered my way through the deserted roads, my eyelids heavy with fatigue. Yet, as I approached the empty bridge, something stirred within me.

The sunrise on the horizon, began its ascent, casting a warm, orange hue over the bridge and the clouds above. With my camera resting on the passenger seat, I couldn't resist capturing the ethereal scene unfolding before me. The bridge, bathed in the morning light, stood as a silent sentinel, its architectural marvel juxtaposed against the natural beauty of dawn.

When I later reviewed the photograph, I was struck by its profound simplicity—a testament to the hidden wonders that often go unnoticed in our frenetic lives. In that moment, I realized the power of photography to encapsulate fleeting moments of splendor and share them with the world.

But amidst my own reflections, memories of a childhood journey over the same bridge resurfaced. Beside me, in my father's vintage Mustang, sat my younger sister, her innocent gaze fixated on the towering structures ahead. "Daddy, look," she exclaimed, her voice tinged with wonder, "the angels are in the bridge."

Her words, though spoken in innocence, held a deeper truth—a reminder that beauty lies not only in what we see but also in the perceptions of those who view the world with untainted eyes. To this day, I carry her vision with me, a beacon of hope amid the chaos, guiding me to seek beauty in even the most unexpected places.. . Production and Shipping Time:
