Photo of the Day: V-Cut Cliff, State Line Lookout, Closter NJ

As I type this, rain is slapping against my windows, with an even heavier downpour forecast for overnight. But it was a different story this past Sunday.

Though the calendar says that we passed into autumn a week ago, the air, with moderate temperatures but some humidity, felt more like early summer. At State Line Lookout in Palisades Interstate Park, New Jerseyans like me (and perhaps some New Yorkers crossing the border) used the opportunity to walk around the highest point on the Palisades Cliffs.

I decided to photograph this spot along the scenic overlook not just because of the craggy cliffs but the unusual V shape in this rock formation.
