Photographs and thoughts on photography and camera collecting
Of course, this was the main reason I stopped at Here Coffee and Beer. I mentioned this Brown Ale in the second post in this series. As I was sitting on the platform at Irvington station, tired and thirsty, I couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I decided to stop and have one (actually two as it turned out). It was the perfect end to the day.

I eventually got to Irvington Station and took the train back to Ossining. By this time, I guess I’d been walking for about two hours, my legs were aching, and my feet were hurting so I decided to stop at Here Coffee and Beer for a while. I took a few pictures of a few of the people who were also there.

Interesting stone structures channeling Barney Brook. The picture above shows how the brook passes under the Old Croton Aqueduct.
The remaining two pictures show Barney Brook winding around Station Road as it makes it way down to the River Hudson.

According to the New York Post:
In the chilling trailers for the film, you can’t miss this eerie tunnel where Emily Blunt’s drunken character, Rachel, gets entangled in some kind of crime. (No spoilers in this article!) The granite Station Road tunnel in the Spiro Park neighborhood of Irvington serves as an underpass along the Old Croton Aqueduct pathway.
Now a popular running, bicycling and walking trail, the path covers 26.2 miles of the original 19th-century aqueduct. The leafy, linear OCA Park runs from Van Cortlandt Park in The Bronx to the Croton Dam in Cortlandt.
Meanwhile, the film’s deputy location manager, Mara Alcaly, reveals that the atmospheric haze that contributes to the creepiness of the scenes was created by a mist made from glycerin and water. “I spent many an evening waiting for dusk on Station Road,” adds Alcaly, “sitting there with our mist machine.”

When I first noticed this building, I thought it was a school. It looks like a school and there’s a playground just to the left of it. However, as I was processing the picture I noticed a plaque which reads: “Board of Water Commissioners, Irvington, NY”. So, I guess that’s what it must be.
