More views from vermont

Some additional pix from the area.

The first lake picture (which I didn't take) shows Lake Willoughby (looking to the north), about 30 miles north of here. This lake sits in a valley between the two mountains rising nearly 1000 feet above the lake surface, An earlier picture showed the more dramatic Mount Pisgah, which is on the right side here. This glacial lake formed about 12,000 years ago and is over 300 ft deep.

Considering the height of these two mountains is mind-boggling to imagine the entire valley filled with ice.

The next lake picture is a small fishing lake called Molly's Falls Pond operated by the department of wildlife. It has a man made dam and also provides water to some of the surrounding villages.















The next picture, which I took last fall, shows two farms about 3 miles from our house. They are on the road from St. J, so we see them several times a week. It has been fun watching the crops change as summer passes. The second hay crop already is in bales, and the corn field is about 5 feet high.
















This sunset picture is taken from our house, looking northward. Possibly, this is the best view of all!
