While it is dark outside, I hope you are keeping warm and sharing time with loved ones.

Two more photographs from the Bronx/Westchester border. In the 17th century, this area was part of a huge estate owned by Adriaen van der Donck called Colen Donck. It began just north of Manhattan and ran well into what is now Westchester county.
