Summer Solstice Sunrise Stone
2008-04-13 07:11:00 Summer Solstice Sunrise Stone , originally uploaded by **amber_**. it was pretty much overcast with scattered showers the whole time I was out today. But the sun decided to make a most brief appearance so I could take this picture - most accommodating. Odd that it decided to say "hello" when i came across the Summer Solstice stone - it was almost like it was saying "Hey, Amber.. stay tuned... I'm almost there"._____________________________ _____________________________________From Wikipedia:The site's history is muddled partly because of the activities of William Goodwin, who became convinced that his Mystery Hill was proof that Irish monks (the Culdees) had lived there long before Christopher Columbus, a concept he sought to publicize. He moved many of the stones around from their former positions to better support his idea, thus obliterating a good deal of the archaeological record. The site's current owners, the private company America's Stonehenge Foundatio... More About: Summer
Help, I have done it again.
2008-04-12 14:33:00 Help, I have done it again., originally uploaded by Nylons and Cake. Here I am at this beautiful stone staircase in the woods of New Hampshire in a park called Madame Sherri's Forest.Beginning in the late 1920's, Madame Antoinette Sherri summered in Chesterfield, New Hampshire for thirty years. Her lifestyle was unlike anything the local residents of Brattleboro had seen before, and she soon became and exotic and mysterious figure in the region.Madame Sherri first came to Chesterfield during the prohibition era to visit her friend Jack Henderson, a Broadway actor who summered and partied in the region. Andre passed away in 1924, however Madame Sherri had become quite fond of Chesterfield. Soon after she bought a farm on the Gulf Road with the intent of building a summer home.Sherri's entourage of beautiful young girls caught the attention of many of the gentleman in the region. Unsubstantiated rumors suggest that the castle actually served as a brothel. Her 1927 cream-colored...

Furnace Brook Waterfall, New Ipswich
2008-04-08 18:21:00 ID100-08-009, originally uploaded by mike costolo. 20 second exposure. See the other version for a 1 second exposure. Mike Costolo joined several of us at a recent NH Group Meetup and he brought along his large-format, film camera. The other four of us had camera's hanging off neck straps, but Mike has a shoulder strap for his.My family calls this waterfall Kangas's Falls because Matti Kangas used to own the land and live close by. But the official name could be quite different.Regarding meetups, members of the NH Group coordinate photography meetups throughout the year. A meetup can be as small as two people who post the location, time, and directions for a photographic opportunity.Meetups in the last year have included sunrise locations in Milford, New Ipswich, and Wilton. Sunset meetings have been in Auburn, Portsmouth, and other locations throughout our state.Keep an eye on the NH Group discussion threads and we hope to see you join us soon! More About: Waterfall
Light at the End?
2008-04-08 04:51:00 Danbury, originally uploaded by tulla_girl. Drive home from Danbury in the summer Can it be that leaves will soon be on the trees like this? Is that possible?

Dan McLeod; Jan. 2, 1947 - Apr. 2, 2008
2008-04-05 22:27:00 Dan McLeod; Jan. 2, 1947 - Apr. 2, 2008 , originally uploaded by Ben McLeod. My father passed away this past Wednesday. He was only 61.For the past 15-or-so years he has fought a disease called Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency. It attacked his lungs and made it difficult for dad to breathe. It also attacked his immune system and left his body defenseless. He somehow got an infection in his blood. Apparently, this would force the hospitalization of a healthy adult. In my dad's case, the infection quickly spread through his body and shut it down. He had his whole family gathered around him when he went, and I know that was important to him.But I miss him so much. This isn't fair.My father was the most incredibly caring man. He was the greatest father on earth. I hope that I can be half the father he was.He also provided me with an example of how to be a good husband. He and my mother were so in love. I miss you dad.Hold Fast.

Grading Samples
2008-04-01 14:05:00 Grading Samples , originally uploaded by afka_bob. This weekend was New Hampshire Maple Weekend where many of the sugar houses open their doors to visitors so that people might get a glimpse into the Maple Sugaring Industry.From New Hampshire Maple ProducersEach year, the New Hampshire maple industry produces close to 90,000 gallons of maple syrup. Maple sugaring time in New Hampshire runs from mid-February to mid-April.As the frozen sap in the maple tree thaws, it begins to move and build up pressure within the tree. When the internal pressure reaches a certain point, sap will flow from any fresh wound in the tree. Freezing nights and warm sunny days create the pressure needed for a good sap Harvest.In late February, New Hampshire maple producers tap their sugar maples by drilling a small hole in the trunk and inserting a spout. A bucket or plastic tubing is fastened to the spout and the crystal clear sap drips from the tree. It is then collected and transported to the sugar hou...

Many people in New Hampshire and greater New England currently hard at work to capitalize on the sweet sap flowing through our maple trees.Imagine having to boil down 40 gallons of sap for 1 gallon of syrup.

Yankee Ingenuity
2008-03-18 11:37:00 IMG_0595, originally uploaded by spyboy. Years ago, I saw someone drive a wooden truck in Wisconsin.I admired the wooden body panels and cab with a rubber hose leading from the engine to a 55-gallon gasoline drum in the truck bed.(Quietly hoping, of course, that a metal frame lay below the wood - we passed the truck on a highway while going at least 55 mph at the time.)And then I see this photo of a Model-T snowmobile!?!? It's incredible!With Yankee Ingenuity like this, I am sure that we can work through anything in New Hampshire.

Very Presidential
More articles from this author:2008-03-03 03:49:00 Very Presidential , originally uploaded by NorthIsUp. The tallest mountain in New Hampshire's Presidential Range, Mount Washington reaches 6,288 ft (1,917 m). It is known for some of the worst weather on earth and holds the record for the highest wind speed ever recorded: 231 mph (372 km/h). Although there is an auto road to the top, in the winter the summit observatory is only accessible via snowcat (1-5 hours, depending upon snow drifts). There are very few days of the year when there is a clear view from the top - this would have been one of them. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 |
