Scenes from the New York Adirondacks region
January 20-February 7, 2013

Ice floating on Lake Champlain at the Peru dock.
[A view from the dock such that the shore in on the left and in the far distance. Deep blue water with floating sections of thin ice comprises most of the image. Blue sky fills most of the remainder of the image.]

Bluff Point lighthouse on Valcour Island seen from the Peru dock.
(Left image shot in 2013; right image shot in 2012)
[Two images spliced together. The left image shows the lighthouse sitting amid the evergreens on a high part of the island with the top of the building just barely above the tree tops. The light is four stories tall in the middle of a two story house. The lowest level appears built of stone with the next two layers up appear to be red roofing material. The top level with the light is all white. The right image is just the lighthouse and the trees immediately surrounding it. The individual stones used to create the first level are visible.]

Rainbow Falls at Ausable Chasm
[The left side of the image is a rocky cliff leading to the snow-covered water. The waterfalls are at the back of the image with rapids just before the falls. On teh right side is a two story white building with the second story being under a slanted roof.]

Closer view of Rainbow Falls
[A multi-level waterfall with significant portions frozen into thick icicles.]

Closer view of the trees in the upper right of the prior photo
[A closer view of the leafless trees with snow piles on all the limbs just above the waterfall.]
