Colorful Sky Over Shelter Island, NY

Colorful sky at Shelter Island, NY

Today's picture features a multi-colored sky over the Mashomack Preserve on Shelter Island, NY. Nature's mosaic of red, orange, purple, blue and yellow clouds make the sky appear to be on fire.

Shelter Island lies at the eastern end of Long Island, and is accessible only by ferry. Although only five miles wide and serenely peaceful, tiny Shelter Island is packed with things for her visitors to do, including:
  • playing golf or tennis
  • biking 
  • hiking 
  • fishing 
  • beach swimming 
  • exploring art galleries 
  • world-class dining 
  • enjoying the pristine Mashomack Nature Preserve 

It's hard to believe that such a scenic, peaceful and playful spot as Shelter Island can be so close to the hustle and bustle of New York City! Be sure to set aside a day or two to visit beautiful Shelter Island when you plan your next Big Apple vacation!
