A SUMMER SUNSET AT COW MEADOW PARK IN NORTHPORT, LONG ISLAND

We headed into Northport for dinner on a beautiful August evening earlier this week.  While there we enjoyed the sunset along Northport Harbor in Cow Meadow Park.  Northport is a fun town to visit, with little shops of all kinds and it has many great restaurants.  I had a delicious lobster roll, homemade potato salad and corn on the cob dinner with a big glass of cold iced tea at the "Feed and Grain Restaurant" along main street.  Yum!

Cow Meadow park along the harbor was filled with people strolling, playing frisbee, walking dogs of all sizes, skateboarding, and biking.  Families were walking their babies and letting the little ones play in the playground while older folks sat on the many benches facing the harbor.  Eating ice cream was definitely a favorite park pastime, too.  LOL  All the while a bandstand concert was going on, as well.  Throughout the summer they hold all sorts of special events in the park. It's a wonderful place to spend a warm summer evening.  

Although I wish I'd taken more photos of the park itself, I must admit that I was most captured by the gorgeous sunset over the harbor that night.  Here are a few pictures I took while I was there....     (To enlarge a photo, please just click on it.)
