Beautiful Adirondack Scenery

I went to check out one of my favorite locations about five miles from my house. Rumor has it, they are going to put large windmills up there and I wanted to see if it was going to spoil the view. The day had been hot, I had taken my wife out to a fancy dinner at The Country Store (think about it – The Country Store – fancy?) and while there, we saw some dark clouds form north of us, but we got just a few sprinkles while we ate dinner.

As we headed up the eight miles from the store, past our street and on up the hill, steam was rising from the pavement. It was about 7:30 pm EST, and the steam increased as we continue up in elevation. And then we were able to see the valley below. The most unbelievable scene greeted us for this time of year and time of day – fog between all the hills as far as the eye could see!

Of course, all I had with me was my iPhone – I whipped it out and took some shots, and then raced back to the house for the rest of my camera gear, hoping that the sight would not disappear before I could get back. Luckily, I keep things packed, charged, and ready to go. I was out of the house in a flash, dodged two deer crossing the road while I raced to the summit, and took a series of images, including some High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Panoramics. However, of all of them, this was my favorite. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did while standing up there.
