A "populated place"
This was taken in Reber, in the new York North Country, which I thought a very, very small farming town. Research on-line finds that it is designated only as a “populated place” incorporated within the more defined and substantial (2000 inhabitants!) town of Willsboro (no pretentions at elegance with an “ugh” on that) of revolutionary war vintage. Here, aging farmland, and farmland newly rejuvenated by Amish or new age organic enterpreneurs, mixes with maturing forests and views that are honey on the heart.
The subject of this landscape is Mt. Poko-O-Moonshine, modest in elevation but with two fine trails, a vintage fire tower (zoom... it's there), famed rock climbing routes, and excellent summit views of Lake Champlain, Vermont, and higher Adirondack peaks nearby. It’s a treasure in its own right, along with the varied and rich country that surrounds it. It's handsome in any season, but invites "Another Autumn View"
This is processed from RAW in LR, PS and gently textured with an offering in Topaz. The result is as close to the eye's imagination as possible.
