This is an image of a mother and daughter out for a beautiful day of Kayak fishing in Huntington Harbor on the north shore of Long Island. It was a spectacular day to be outdoors and they were taking full advantage of the weather.  I hope you enjoy.

This is part of the backyard and mansion at Sands Point Preserve (the whole back yard is way to big to show it covers acres and goes all the way down the cliffs to The Long Island Sound).  There is also a Castle on the grounds.  This was once the home of Henry Clay Frick, better known as the chairman of J.P. Morgans newly formed company, US Steel.  He moved from Pittsburg Pennsylvania to New York and needed a home so he bought this one.  There are countless mansions on the “Gold Coast” of Long Island.  This is now part of the Sands Point Nature Preserve.
