November is not the best month of the year for landscapes in New England.
Although we often have nice clear, crisp days… the cloudless skies and grey hillsides can conspire to make for somewhat bland photographs. None-the-less, I keep trying!
On Thursday (Thanksgiving) afternoon, Joan and I walked up the road to Brimstone Corner while the turkey was in the oven. Nick pulled up just as we arrived back at the house and we extended our stroll by heading down to the lake. I had not taken the camera along on the first part of the walk, but the sun was low enough to tempt me as we headed down to the lake.
Yesterday afternoon, the three of us took a hike up North Pac Monadnock; the trail head in the Wapack NWR is about a 20 minute drive from the house. We finished the hike in the light of the mostly full moon.

Frank, you managed to carve a few diamonds from this not-so cooperative weather. The view from North Pac is well layered with a strong foreground, a well-defined middle, and an intriguing back section. Converting this to a B&W was your only option, I’m guessing as the lack of color in the original would not have done this justice.
Thanks for the program presentation. Still waiting for your booked exhibits schedule. . .
