Vermont

The street sign says it all – you’re in Vermont.

The Green Mountains.


The Green Mountains are among the oldest mountains in the world, obviously this rock had long stopped rolling.

A mysterious island in the middle of the mountains.


What a view!

Spring water rolling over the rocks.

Blue view of the Green Mountains.

New York State

Howe’s Cavern in upstate New York.



A close up of a ancient flow on the floor.

A tight winding path at the end of the tour – the highlight of the cave. Don’t go if you’re claustrophobic.


Above the caverns, the view of the countryside (and cows).



A pair of wild Stallions in the Streets of Saratoga.


Hey, they’re better than cows.


Singer songwriter John Gorka playing at Saratoga’s Care Lena, the country’s oldest continuously run coffee house. Oh, Abraham.



Crown Point in New York where a pair of pre revolutionary forts protected the narrow entryway to Lake Champlain.



Mysterious shadows on the river.


Crossing the lower Adirondacks on the way to Lake Placid.



Overlooking Mirror Lake in Lake Placid.


The Storm King Art Center in the Catskills.



Andy Goldsworthy’s Storm King Wall snaking down the hill and through the lake.




I think they take their name too seriously – really, the thunder and rain wasn’t necessary.
