I hiked up to the Stowe Pinnacle for the view right before sunset. The view was remarkable from the top,. But the trail itself was treacherous and I slipped about 10 times on the way because of the mud.
Darling Hill road is quite astonishing and offers many scenic viewpoints along the dirt road. This scene was off to the side of the road. I was quite lucky with the weather on this trip through Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.
More from the Vermont byways later.
Happy Thursday all!
Montpelier, Vermont
Fun fact: Montpelier is the only state capital city in the U.S. without a McDonald's restaurant. Thanks, Lois, for that information.
There's lots to like about the old Central Vermont main across the Green Mountain State, with lots of scenic trestles and old stations lining the right of way. The line's normal freight trains (NECR 323 and 324) typically traverse the railroad in darkness, but this summer's Vermont Railway detour trains provided a welcome opportunity to shoot freight on the line in better light. Although the trains have used leased GMTX GP38s instead of VTR red, they still look great against the scenery of Vermont. On our last of three days chasing the detours, we shot northbound RDBD soaring over the Winooski River between Waterbury and Richmond.

A pair of Central Vermont GP-9's, #4549 and 4551 along with a Grand Trunk Western GP-9 wait to head North at the Conrail crossing at Palmer, Mass. in March of 1988.
The cornfields in Quebec are brown at this time of year. I was surprised to see that they are not only still green in Vermont, but in the bright sunlight they are florescent green.
This field and barn are between the Green Mountains of Vermont (see here) and the Adirondacks of New York (behind my back). Not a bad place to be situated.
While driving through South Woodstock, VT, we saw an incredible red barn on a meticulous and beautiful farm. We later discovered that Michael J. Fox (Actor) was the previous owner having sold it a few years ago. The setting is amazing. (Edited in Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz)
