These three short 'pictures' were inspired by several visits to a small part of the American East Coast, an area that provides great extremes in the geography and the people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMovement 1: \u003ci\u003eShelter Island\u003c\/i\u003e is a small island situated near the end of Long Island, a few hours drive east of New York. In the summer it becomes a crowded tourist trap; but in the winter it is gloriously deserted and bravely faces the onslaught of the turbulent Atlantic, shrouded in sea mists and driving rain. This 'picture' is a fond memory of a winter weekend on Shelter Island.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMovement 2: In upstate New York lie the \u003ci\u003eCatskills\u003c\/i\u003e Mountains–an extraordinary combination of tranquillity and power, peace and majesty.
