Jewel of the Hudson

 High grasses rustling in a warm breeze.

 A waterfront walkway alive with bicyclists, baby carriages, strolling tourists.

An historic railroad terminal that once shuttled sweaty city dwellers to the Jersey shore. 

Acres of nature preserves with birds happily chirping.

 A cluster of sky high flagpoles with Old Glory snapping noisily.

 A solitary fisherman waiting to see what the mighty Hudson will offer up.

 A little girl learning to fly a kite.

 A million dollar view of America’s financial heartland.

 A science center second to none.

 Lady Liberty’s backyard.

 Beautiful Liberty State Park in Jersey City.
