A beautiful autumn day on a secluded New York lake. Endless blue sky stretches out over its perfectly mirrored surface. No sounds to be heard other than the rustle of leaves.
OK, enough of that. Where was this photo taken?? Give it your best guess in the comments – a general region or area (Catskills, Westchester, etc.) accepted! Answer Friday…

OK, I give up – I’ve been staring at these two film stills for way too long, and I just can’t figure out where they are. Can you help?? This first shot looks so damn familiar, and yet I can’t place it. At first, I thought it was a Grand Central entrance, but nothing matches….
Looking for an interesting speaker with encyclopedic knowledge of New York City and the movies to give a unique photo-rich presentation at your next event? You’ve found him! Since 2008, professional movie location scout Nick Carr has been taking readers on a tour of New York’s most beautiful, historic, and downright strange places through his…
Thanks to anyone who called the Mayor’s Office. We’ll see what happens…I’ve been really busy on set recently, but I’ll try to be better about posting. A year or two ago, I was scouting a school in NYC and happened to walk through this very cool office for the Phys Ed teacher. Apparently, he’s been…
Every October, I try to do posts in honor of Halloween, one of the best holidays to celebrate in New York. I hope you enjoyed this year’s crop – below, some of my favorites from past years. And hey, picked out a costume yet? Halloween is less than a week away! See you at the…
Back in the city, and starting Monday, all new NYC posts. I hope you enjoyed my write-up of our roadtrip to Key West. One final bit of advice if you decide to make the trek yourself: when you go to take a picture of yourself standing at the southern-most point in the continental United States……

Central Park
Camp Crystal Lake?
new york state, i win
I would guess this is in the Far Rockaway.
Darn, I rotated the picture to read the lettering on the boats and it was just a brand name, Sea Nymph.
I am going to guess Lake Ronkonkoma
Prospect Park?
Inwood?
Hempstead Lake State Park or one of those Parks on Long Island that made up the old Brooklyn Water System
Bear Mountain?
Bear Mtn or Harriman State Park — right next door to each other. And very pretty this time of year.
I’m going with a lake in the general area of New Paltz, i.e. Kerhonkson, Kingston, etc.
Staten Island – Boy Scout Camp. Shot this there a couple years ago: http://vimeo.com/7990057
I’m going for Central Park. If i am wrong then my excuse is because I live in England!
Looks like Prospect Park to me.
My first guess would be Prospect Park, but maybe somewhere in the Adirondacks or Finger Lakes.
Fahnestock State Park.
Doesn’t really look hilly enough to be my native Finger Lakes, but that could just be the angle at which it was taken.
Harriman State Park.
It is Lake Tear of The Clouds.
Cross River Resivior
You can rule out the Adirondacks.
Lake Champlain?
Swan Lake at Rockefeller State Park
Schroon lake
Lake George?
Got beat to it, yeah boy scout camp in SI. worked on a couple of productions there. they were building a set for the bourne franchise last time i was there (supposedly).
They did indeed; they were filming in mid-November when my cub pack went camping. They were just wrapping up a burn scene the afternoon we arrived.
After finding this: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/8852095 I’m changing my mind and going with Grove and Juan… SI Boy Scout Camp
I agree. It’s the Staten Island Boy Scout Camp.
