Some of you in my beloved Hudson Valley will appreciate this, as will those familiar with the area (Jon from R-Va, I'm looking at you and Carrie). It's from Shorpy, the great old photography site. The picture was taken from the top of Mount Beacon (in Beacon, NY) in 1905. Honestly, I had no idea that Beacon was that populated at that time. Obviously, there's no Newburgh-Beacon Bridge. There's no Interstate 84 (both roughly 60 years away from opening). It's a very different time. But still it's an interesting picture.
