The Hudson River holds a timeless beauty that has shaped my life. My name is Alec Halstead, and I've spent a lifetime searching for the balance between adventure and peace. As a 23-year military veteran, I've been to places most people only read about in somber headlines. My camera became my shield against the chaos, my way of seeking out beauty even in the darkest corners. Through its lens, I’ve captured fleeting moments of grace that helped me navigate the stormier chapters of life.
Recently, a good friend purchased an abandoned Adirondack grand camp, an old, sprawling lodge nestled deep in the woods. He’s been working to restore it to its former glory, and two weeks ago, I joined him to lend a hand. We worked from dawn until dusk, the quiet of the wilderness our constant companion. By the end of the day, my muscles ached, but my soul felt refreshed, steeped in the serenity of the surroundings.
Last weekend, my wife and I went up to the camp just to relax. We explored the area, reveling in the beauty of our surroundings. We woke at dawn on the first morning, greeted by crisp air and fall colors in full swing. The mountains were painted in shades of gold, red, and orange, dancing with the morning light. We set off to explore, and a few miles from the camp, we reached a bridge over the Hudson River—the bridge at Riparius. Before crossing, we turned down a little back road, and as we came around a bend, the view left us speechless. The far bank of the river exploded in color, bathed in the light of the rising sun. The silence and beauty of the scene before us were breathtaking.
I raised my camera and captured the moment. Even now, back home, I can still feel that crisp air, see the rich colors, and hear the stunning silence whenever I look at that photo. It's moments like these that remind me why I keep coming back to the Hudson River and the Adirondacks—why this wild, untamed place will always feel like home. . Production and Shipping Time:
