KFC Go Cup

I must have spoken too soon because, once I got back into the main towns, the traffic started getting bad. I realized that I no longer had time to stop and sit down for a meal so I stopped at the KFCЧитать далее
The Walk

The Pumpkin King

Across the street from the Old Dutch Church was the entrance to Horseman's Hollow, an outdoor area to walk around in, filled with all sorts of scary things. These big scarecrows were left standingЧитать далее
Outside of Horseman's Hollow
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F
I'd love to experience Horseman's Hollow, and take pictures of everything there, but I don't really like the sort of haunted houses that have real people jumping out at me. As much as I want to visit,Читать далее
Welcome to Horseman's Hollow
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F
The closer I got to the entrance to Horseman's Hollow, the more frightening and sinister the scarecrows were becoming! Yes, I think that I'll definitely be skipping Horseman's Hollow!
The Old Dutch Church
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F
This is the inside of the Old Dutch Church in Sleepy Hollow. It's just about time for the show to start. I'm glad that I got here early enough to get a good seat. I'm sitting on the aisle seat of theЧитать далее

At the Sign of the Bridge
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F
This is the spot where Ichabod Crane supposedly crossed the bridge to escape from the Headless Horseman. It's right outside of the Old Dutch Church. Seeing this sign as I left the Irving's LegendЧитать далее
Strike Up the Band
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F
As I headed back to the car to drive over and see the Blaze I passed through the entrance to Horseman's Hollow again. Now, it was so crowded and everyone seemed to be having a great time. There wasЧитать далее
Welcome to the Blaze
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 52 °F
There are some experiences every family should try once. Then there are annual events that, after you try them, you vow to do every year forevermore. That's how I feel about the Great Jack O' LanternЧитать далее
Going In
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 52 °F
Even though I got here early, I had to wait until 8:30, the time listed on my ticket, to go in. There's lots of people here tonight and I guess that's the best way for rthe workers here to keep thingsЧитать далее
The Pumpkin Zee Bridge
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 52 °F
One of the first displays that I saw was this Pumpkin Zee Bridge, a nod to the Tappan Zee Bridge, which is a often crossed bridge in the Hudson Valley area. This display was big and elaborate, evenЧитать далее
Swimming Haunted Seas
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 52 °F
This sea serpent is very impressive but I've seen him several times already. He looks great but I'd really like to see some new creations!
The Sea Serpent
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 52 °F
Here's a closer look at the sea serpent. The artistry of the pumpkin carvers is amazing! After getting a closer look, I think that this sea serpent could easily pass as a Chinese dragon.
Pumpkin Artistry
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 52 °F
These pumpkins have been carved, and arranged, to look like the stained glass windows of a church. This looks great and it's such a creative idea!
The Cake
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 52 °F
This is another display that has been around for a few years. Originally, it was set up as for the 10th anniversary of the Blaze but now it's just reused each year with no mention of any anniversary.
The Zodiac
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 52 °F
This was something new. All of the zodiac signs were made out of pumpkins, mounted on these display boards, and then arranged in this clearing. I saw lots of people taking pictures of each otherЧитать далее
All Aboard!
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 52 °F
This circus train had many cars, each with a different animal inside. This display was very long and, even using my widest lens, I couldn't get the entire train in one shot. Here's a piece of itЧитать далее
The Carousel
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 52 °F
This carousel was a big hit with visitors and I had to wait a while before I could get a shot of it without and people standing near it. I think the carousel was popular because it's new this year.Читать далее
The Corridor
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 50 °F
This display has been there every year I've gone to the Blaze but I always love seeing this and think that it's probably the best part of the Blaze attraction. It can't be shown in a photo but theЧитать далее
Where is Everyone?
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 50 °F
I'm surprised, and happy that I was able to get a shot of this corridor looking so empty. Usually, it's packed with people lingering inside to enjoy the lightshow.
Moving On...
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 50 °F
The lightshow corridor was fantastic, as always, and I was very lucky to see it with so few people around but I'm ready to move on and see what else the Blaze has to offer this season.
Pegasus
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 50 °F
This is the sort of display that's usually seen at the other pumpkin display over in Westbury, the Rise of the Jack-o'-Lantern's. In fact, this is the only sort of display that they have in Westbury.Читать далее
The Road Goes On, Ever On
26 октября 2017 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 50 °F
This is what's on the other side of the lightshow corridor, a trail that looks like it goes on forever and a spooky looking cabin. Occasionally, you are able to hear galloping hoofprints and aЧитать далее
