Was really glad to catch the train shots ... I kept hearing trains off in the distance as I was wandering around, and finally on one of my last days there, got to see one. I always remember freight trains from when I was a kid living up there; there was a crossing near my family home -- now no longer in use -- and we often ran to get a look at it and count the cars as it went by. They always seemed so powerful, almost frightening, and sort of mysterious ... and I still felt that way when I came across this one! Bye!

You're right, it is a beautiful area, and late summer, early fall is always a great time to go visit. Occasionally I miss the winters, but only until the nostalgia wears off and I remember what it's REALLY when the temps are in the teens or lower for days or even weeks at a time. This was my first trip back since I bought the DSLR; I couldn't help but think when I got back and looked at the photos that I wished I had taken more!

I have spent some time in the Adirondacks hiking etc. I have also spent some time at Lake Placid and Whiteface and Saranac, Lake George and Long and Tupper Lake. I love it there. I remember one year of college I took some people in a car to Sugarbush, Vermont. I took them inadvertently home by going toward a ferry on Lake Champlain which ended up not being open at the time and we ended up having to go some other way and got stuck in the mountains for a day because the roads kind of sucked. You are lucky to come from such a place. Love the pictures.
