Crisp air, bright sun and reflections of riverfront life are all it takes to fall for the Rumson-Fair Haven area in autumn.
The scene just doesn’t get any more comforting. It seems to always reach out and embrace the local soul. And it never gets old.
Get a glimpse. Take it in.

On this first day of winter, we are reminded of the scene down by the Fair Haven Dock that always warms our souls, even during the biggest chill of the season …

It’s unseasonably warm. The Navesink River is drenched in sun. And the seagulls are soaking what may just be the last summery fall day all up.
Yes, it’s been done many times … Sunset photos at the Fair Haven Dock.
But no two sunsets are ever the exact same. And no feeling each time you stand there, stroll down the dock or on the beach and take it all in is exactly the same.
From one perspective at least, tonight’s setting was about color, clouds and content chatter among fishermen.
Good night, Fair Haven …

It’s been said umpteen times, so why not say it again? There’s nothing quite as comforting to a Rumson-Fair Haven area native as the sights and subtle sounds down by the river at nightfall.
The gently lapping water. A conversation in the distance. A boat docking. A favorite spot for an exhale. River Rats’ place. Everyone’s place. An anchor.
Take a look and feel the comforting lull of home …

It’s been a steamy, scalding few days. And, down by the river in Fair Haven, the sun hasn’t taken a break from a typical scorching summer’s day.
It’s sunset at the riverfront in Fair Haven. A sea of anchored sailboats cast a shadow on the Navesink River at low tide. The sound of the river lapping onto the shore is rhythmic, soothing. The site of a solitary row ashore is a sign that it’s time to take it all in and exhale a content sigh that this is home.
See for yourself …

Sometimes a little solitude, a stroll and a serene scene down by the Fair Haven Dock is the best thing for the soul.
While the scenery may look the same, no two riverfront snapshots in time are ever identical. Each moment is unique. Each picture different. The effect, too, of given day down by that Navesink River can change like, well, the seasons.
It’s spring in Fair Haven. And that riverfront stroll is as soothing as the sun’s warm embrace. That’s because it’s a walk home.
Take a look …
