Welwyn Preserve County Park:

This spot is located behind the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County. The preserve includes a beach and trails, but is mostly known for the abandoned estate of the industrialist Harold I. Pratt. The interior of the estate is covered in graffiti. Welwyn is a place that will never get old, especially because people are constantly making new artwork on the walls.

Shu Swamp Nature Preserve:

This nature preserve is located in Mill Neck Estates and is one of my favorite place to stroll and snap pictures. On sunny days, I always find myself taking pictures of sun hitting the leaves or trees.

Bailey Arboretum:

This 42 acre arboretum is located in Lattingtown, Nassau County and is arguably the best place to have a picnic. 98% of the property is covered in exotic trees- This also includes a 200 year old manor with a green house and two man made ponds.

My hometown- Bayville, Nassau County:

I took the picture below at the creek in Bayville. This summer I had worked as a beach attendant in Bayville. The job entailed that I make sure no one parked without a Bayville resident sticker on their car, so I often walked around and took pictures when I didn't have anything to do (which was pretty often).

The two pictures below were taken in Bayville as well. The Long Island Sound is only a a 30 second walk from my house, so I watch the sunset and take photographs at the beach whenever I can.
