A bit of history: The land was purchased in 1901 by Colonel Charles Cummings, who was a 33-degree Mason. Purchased for a mere $3,000, the Colonel intended to leave the Spindle Point - 500 acre Farm to the New Hampshire Grand Lodge of Masons for a Masonic home, but the cost was far too excessive for the fraternity. The land was eventually sold to developers. Colonel Cummings built this observatory tower for his two daughters, who were aspiring artists.
Leave it to me, an aspiring photographer, to take a bit of a daring shot like this one. The land is on private property, so to capture this image, I walked across Meredith Bay on the glare ice. Maybe a kayak in the summer would have been easier :)

A hard wood that easily cuts to a point. Often used for the spindles when spinning and catching wool. The wood can also be made to burn in a pit to make charcoal drawing sticks.
For the image, I cellotaped a sprig to the lens hood of a 24mm Pentax SMC with a 12mm mechanical tube. I then stopped down and exposed after a 10 second delay, which gave me the time to take a micro light in each hand and to rotate for a soft light with hightone. Shot using a Pentax K-50.
