About the Book
A unique and memorable book of photos of NY-NJ and Hudson River reaches...
WALKING BY WATERS is a collection of photos taken from 1984 to 2010, mainly of waterfront areas most New Yorkers know nothing about. These extraordinary photos were snapped mainly by Cy A Adler, founder of Shorewalkers Inc. He is the Author of "Walking the Hudson--- Batt-to-Bear," and "Walking Manhattan's Rim--- The Great Saunter."
Waterways have always attracted Cy Adler. During the past 35 years, he has explored the waterfronts of rivers, bays, estuaries, canals, lakes, meers, bights, sounds, marshes, ponds, waterfalls, aqueducts, and kills around New York and New Jersey. On these expeditions, often with other Shorewalkers, he's trod more than a thousand miles of changing littorols and taken a few thousand pictures.
In WALKING BY WATERS, you will find a collection of photographs which will give you a sense of the amazingly varied urban and evolving waterfronts around us.
See glorious debris and shadows under Hell Gate Bridge, the elegant Highbridge Tower beheaded by vandals in the 1980's, and nearby waterfalls you did not know existed. See Shorewalkers clinging to a chain-link fence on a ledge above the Harlem River, see beautiful waterscapes... and much more.
Viewers of these photographs may wish to join the Shorewalkers, an environmental and walking group (www.shorewalkers.org), and see for themselves the flowing streams and tides around us. WALKING BY WATERS is dedicated to all Shorewalkers who have helped the plan and organize many of the scenes you will see depicted here.
