    On My Way

    26. Oktober 2017 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    Right now, I'm crossing the Throgs Neck Bridge , driving up to the Hudson Valley to see Rise of the Jack O'Lanterns and some other attractions in the same area. I called in sick for work today so I hope that this trip is going to be worth it! The day isn't starting off very well though. Right now it's lightly raining. I hope that it stops by the time I get there.Weiterlesen

    EZ-Pass

    26. Oktober 2017 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    This was my first look at the new cashless EZ-Pass toll system. Here in New York, every car is supposed to be equipped with an EZ-Pass device to keep track of tolls. We've had ours for years now but, oddly enough, some people still don't have one.
    The way the tolls work now, you just drive under this metal rack of cameras and monitors and your toll is automatically billed to your EZ-Pass. You don't even need to slow down as you drive past. If you don't have the pass, the camera takes a picture of your car and you'll get a bill for the tolls in the mail. Doing it this way, the price of the toll is significantly higher.
    I'm very surprised that the tolls can be accurate, since people are driving by so fast, but it seems to be working very well.    Weiterlesen

    On the Hutch

    26. Oktober 2017 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    After passing out of New York City, the traffic lightened up a lot. At this rate, I should be in Sleepy Hollow faster than I expected. The navigation apps on my phone, Google Maps and Waze, make it so easy to get around. I don't know how I ever used to drive anywhere without them.Weiterlesen

    Sleepy Hollow Cemetery

    26. Oktober 2017 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    I made it to Sleepy Hollow a bit sooner than I had expected and the cemetery was my first stop. The cemetery closes at dusk so if I didn't see it first, I probably wouldn't have time later. I've been here once before and found it to be a fascinating place. I wonder how many other people are able to see the beauty and uniqueness in these old cemeteries.Weiterlesen

    The Crypt

    26. Oktober 2017 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    The crypts at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery look very peaceful. I like how most of them seem to be very quiet and surrounded by nature. I've never even thought about something like this as my final resting place though. I'm sure that crypts are very very expensive. This is kind of like a small house and I'm sure it costs just as much.Weiterlesen

    Forever Sleep

    26. Oktober 2017 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Sleepy Hollow, New York, is the resting place of numerous famous figures, including Washington Irving, whose story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is set in the adjacent Old Dutch Burying Ground. Incorporated in 1849 as Tarrytown Cemetery, it posthumously honored Irving's request that it change its name to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.Weiterlesen

Be prepared to do a lot of walking because you will immerse yourself into the beauty and the history that surrounds you. Be sure to keep your eyes open because there is so much more to see besides the headstones.Weiterlesen

    Headless Horseman Bridge

    26. Oktober 2017 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    So many people visit Sleepy Hollow looking for the famous bridge from Washington Irving’s short story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” Unfortunately, the bridge where Ichabod Crane was unseated by a pumpkin is the most popular destination in Sleepy Hollow that doesn’t exist—at least, not in its original form and original location. Whatever simple wooden span crossed the Pocantico River in the late 1700’s has long since rotted away. In fact, Sleepy Hollow village historian Henry Steiner has documented at least five distinct bridges that carried the Albany Post Road over the stream. Washington Irving could have used any one of them in his story.
    Faint traces of the footings to one of the earlier bridges are said to be found inside what is now Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. I didn't find them, but the cemetery’s own bridge, a bit upstream from where the Post Road Bridge stood in Washington Irving’s time, is the closest match that can be found nowadays.    Weiterlesen

    The Bridge

    26. Oktober 2017 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, that “Sleepy” place which serves as the backdrop to Washington Irving’s short story, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”, is largely just that – a quiet and sleepy resting place where little seems to ever change. Following the Pocantico River as it meanders through the pristine terrain of the cemetery, one feels like they are in a place lost in a time long gone. Weiterlesen

    Subdivisions

    26. Oktober 2017 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    I'm not sure why much of this cemetery has these low metal bars separating different groupings of headstones. I've never seen that before in any of the cemeteries I've ever been to. I'm guessing that it's a style that was used long ago and just never removed. It's just one of the many things that make Sleepy Hollow Cemetery so unique and interesting.Weiterlesen

    Tales from the Crypt

    26. Oktober 2017 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    Using a crypt is kind of a creepy way to store a dead body. Most people will bury the body or go the cremation route and be left with just an urn of ashes. With the crypt, the body is left in the coffin but just sitting out on a slab of stone inside the crypt which is, essentially, a stone shed. While much more fancy looking, I don't think that I'd want this to be done for me.Weiterlesen

    Tales from the Crypt II

    26. Oktober 2017 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    Here's a good example of a crypt. It looks both creepy and ostentatious. I've stylized this picture to make it look like something out of a horror movie. I can easily see zombies, or a vampire, walking out of there at night. I've seen some cemeteries where the doors of the crypts are not only locked with the conventional door locks but also with heavy chains and padlocks. Is this to keep somebody out or to keep something else inside?Weiterlesen

    Ready to Go

    26. Oktober 2017 in den USA ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F

    As always, I've had a wonderful and fascinating time here in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery but it's time for me to hit the road and move on to my next stop. Unfortunately, a lot of the spots that I want to see close at dusk, making me limited on time. I'm very glad that I made it back to the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery though. Every time that I come here I find so many new and interesting things. I'm sure I'll be back again. Perhaps next year?Weiterlesen
