IBM Executive Business Institute—Palisades, New York
I had a little time to myself during a meeting with IBM at one of their training facilities. I took a short walk, and shot a few pictures.  A small dammed up creek flows through their property where Mute Swan(s) and ducks etc., make their home (you can also see some Koi in the pond). I made a small movie with some of those shots, click HERE to see that
