To analyze the charms of flowers is like dissecting music; it is one of those things which it is far better to enjoy than to attempt to fully understand. (Henry Theodore Tuckerman).
(Spanish: Analizar el atractivo de una flor es como tratar de diseccionar la música; una de esas cosas de la vida que se disfrutan y viven en vez de tratar de entenderlas. por Henry Theodore Tuckerman).

It is a delightful pastime to sit in the pleasant sunshine of autumn,
and gazing from this little spot of free earth over such a landscape,
let the imagination luxuriate amid the thrilling associations of the scene!

Unseasonably warm temperatures made for spring skiing conditions, but avalanche risk was posted as "moderate" and so there were fewer skiers than there otherwise might have been, and they were choosing less exposed lines.
On the right side of the frame, three skiers can be seen working their way upslope.
It was a magnificent day. The sun and warm temperature were greatly appreciated, after a cold, cloudy January.

Nott Memorial was begun in 1850
First used as a campus museum.
The Nott Memorial is an elaborate 16-sided stone-masonry building which serves as both architectural and physical centerpiece of Union College in Schenectady, New York. Dedicated to Eliphalet Nott, president of Union for a remarkable sixty-two years (1804–1866), the 110-foot (34 m) high by 89-foot (27 m) wide structure is a National Historic Landmark.
Officially designated Nott Memorial Hall but referred to by generations of students and faculty simply as "The Nott" or "The Nipple" (sometimes "The Nipple of Knowledge"), the building's centrality and initial design trace back to Josef Ramee's 1813 conception of the school grounds, the first planned college campus in the United States.
The Memorial was designed by Edward Tuckerman Potter, architect of area churches and homes, alumnus of the college, and grandson of President Nott. Construction began in 1858 and was completed in 1879. The result is one of very few 16-sided buildings in the world.
For nearly a century the Nott was mostly open inside. In 1961 the college moved its bookstore into the basement and configured the first two floors into theater in the round. The upper floors were eventually closed off and fell into disrepair.
In 1993 the college began a complete renovation of the Nott, restoring it to its original design. The award-winning project was undertaken by noted Boston based architecture firm Finegold Alexander + Associates Inc and carried out by A.J. Martini, Inc., contractors.[3] The bookstore and theater were moved to other locations on the campus, and in 1995 the Nott reopened on the celebration of Union's 200th anniversary.
Tuckerman's Ravine Alpenglow Sunrise...
I've shifted my photo shoot locations from the Maine coast to the western mountains of Maine and the White Mountains of NH. It's been a lot of fun and it has gotten me out for some winter hiking.
It was an early 3:00 a.m. wakeup last Thursday followed by a 2.4 mile hike with about 2000' of elevation gain to the ranger station in the infamous Tuckerman's Ravine. We left the trailhead in the dark at 5:30. The trail was in fantastic shape from all of the skiers that had hiked up before us. It was almost like it had been groomed, so all we needed was micro spikes, no snow shoes. It's a steady up hill slog from the start all the way to the ranger station and I was beginning to get a bit tired near the end. It was a race against the sun, but the pink glow in the distance gave me the adrenaline kick I needed to get me, and my backpack full of stuff, to our destination just in time for the best light of the morning. It was so beautiful we didn't even mind the -5 degrees and wind.
This image is a panoramic collage of ten individual images that I shot handheld and then stitched together in Lightroom to make a file over 500MB in size. A special thanks to Chris Lawrence of Maine Photo for helping me with the processing on this one and to Ben Williamson, my hiking partner that day.

~ The eye speaks with an eloquence and truthfulness surpassing speech. It is the window out of which the winged thoughts often fly unwittingly. It is the tiny magic mirror on whose crystal surface the moods of feeling fitfully play, like the sunlight and shadow on a still stream~ Henry Theodore Tuckerman
Photographed from the Tuckerman Ravine Trail, near the Hermit Lake caretaker's cabin. It was a mild but very windy day, too windy for reaching the higher summits. So we hiked into "Tuck's" instead, soaked up some sun, and watched numerous backcountry skiers "earning their turns."
Thank you for visiting!

The Tuckerman Ravine Trail crosses the Cutler River as it makes it's way down into Pinkham Notch below Mount Washington in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

Awesome view from a year ago near Mt Washington in New Hampshire. It's amazing how long the snow fields last in Tuckerman's Ravine.
White Mountain National Forest, Jackson, NH. The Ellis River flowing through Pinkham Notch. This lovely little cascade can be seen along the Tuckerman Ravine Trail that leads to Mount Washington. Leaving from the Pinkham Notch AMC Visitor Center and Lodge on Route 16 the trail parallels the Ellis River. This cascade is located where a bridge crosses the river about 5 minutes into the hike. Another 5 minutes takes you to Crystal Cascade, making it one of the easiest waterfall hikes I have found in the White Mountains.
The 100 foot Crystal Cascade is a short hike up the Tuckerman Ravine Trail in Pinkham Notch, New Hampshire, and within the White Mountain National Forest. The trail begins behind the AMC Pinkham Notch Visitor Center, and is the most popular trail to the top of Mt. Washington. The water source is the Ellis River, which flows from the Cutler River, and was high after 2 days of rain.

For Day 2 ‪of the #‎thoughtsofwinter‬ photography challenge I flash back to 2010. Jim Salge Photography wanted to hike up Wildcat Ski Resort to get something called "Alpine-glow." I agreed but I have to admit I had to Google what this Alpine-glow was and what exactly I was looking for once there. The hike was easy, the sunrise was great and I got my first few morning Alpine-glow shots. I then learned skiing down after a photo shoot is so much better and rewarding than hiking down. On the way down, we paused and I got this shot. While I got several great shots that day, I liked this one the most for the splash of red against the shadows of Mt. Washington et al across the way.

"So to the mind long brooding but on it
A haunting theme for anger, joy, or tears,
With ardent eyes, not what we think appears;
But hunted home, behold! its opposite.
Worn sorrow breaking in disastrous mirth,
And wild tears wept of laughter, like the drops
Shook by the trampling thunder to the earth... "

The long closed Tuckerman Hall the largest building at MSH. Not used by Fulong Gong or the local governments. There was talk of locating a Medical School here, but it did mot come to fruition.
