Ed. Note: Pictured is my village of Cold Spring, where the Hudson River estuary cleaves the Appalachians, the only place that mountain chain is broken at sea level. This winter, the shore is indistinguishable from the river, the land and water merging in one broad white field, as if a tundra had invaded the temperate zone. I don’t know that photographer Russell Cusick intended to present the Hudson Highlands as the top edge of a valentine when he took this picture on February 14, but I do know he always has love in his heart.
