BY S. ELLTS HE/TH, }'EEKSKIT.L, N. Y. 



This photograph was taken at 10 

 a. m. I was in what is called the Tow- 

 er of Victory in Washington's / Head- 

 quarters, Newburgh, N. Y. It is look- 

 ing south on what is known as the North 

 Gate of the Highlands. The mountain 



to the right is "Storm King;" to the left 

 lies "Breakneck;" the island seen is 

 "Polipels;" the distant background is 

 West Point. In the near foreground 

 you can see gas tanks, shipyard, West 

 Shore and Erie Railroads. 



The camera used had an ordinary lens. 

 I used 22 stop, at 1-25 second exposure, 

 Cramer medium isochromatic plate. 



AN INTERESTING PHOTOGRAPH OF LAKE AND CLOUDS.
