Campsite

Along the trail to Laurel Falls, smooth, flat creekside campsites with well-defined fire pits make ideal rest stops.

Late Spring Clouds Above the Adirondacks

2020-Apr-27 adohertyhLeave a comment

Late spring brings some of the best sunset clouds to Saranac Lake, but the evening temperatures would never let you confuse it for summer.

Little Prince Tree

On Earth Day, I really like the image of the next generation, growing up in nature under the shelter of elders.

Miyazakiesque Cabin

2020-Apr-152020-Apr-14 adohertyhLeave a comment

St. Lawrence University’s Camp Canaras is a heterogeneous collection of cabins along the shore of Saranac Lake. Among them, this particular building’s stack of individually glazed windows and roofs at odd angles most reminds me of Howl’s Moving Castle.

Boathouse Dock

2020-Apr-102020-Apr-09 adohertyhLeave a comment

I mentioned in Monday’s post that I find structures built over water to be oddly cozy, and this dock and boathouse on a rainy late spring evening conveys the same kind of feeling.

Adirondack Boathouse

2020-Apr-062020-Apr-06 adohertyh1 Comment

I like the way this picture captures the inviting calm of sleepy boats and an open boathouse in the evening. Perhaps it reminds me of a castle with a moat, but I find an odd sense of safety in buildings built over water.

Life Preserver View

2020-Apr-012020-Mar-31 adohertyhLeave a comment

The “S.L.U.” on this life preserver is a good reminder that St. Lawrence University runs Camp Canaras. Still, I’m not sure it was too necessary on this chilly spring night—Lake Saranac was not overly populated.

Lodge After Dinner

2020-Mar-302020-Mar-29 adohertyhLeave a comment

The main lodge of St. Lawrence’s Camp Canaras so often seems to be abandoned after dinner for the cabins, libraries, and boat houses. In the current times, my brain reads the setting as just a bit apocalyptic.

Three Boats

2020-Mar-252020-Mar-24 adohertyhLeave a comment

The little sailboats might have been in the water of Saranac Lake in the late spring, but the Adirondack weather was not convincing anyone to head out into the evening with one.

Chimney Embers

2020-Mar-202020-Mar-19 adohertyhLeave a comment

Glowing embers rising from the chimney of a cozy cabin may look charming, but I can’t recommend it. Cabins tend to be less cozy when the roof is on fire.

Camp Office

2019-Sep-272019-Sep-26 adohertyhLeave a comment

There’s a warm comfort to a camp office, center of order and structure, on a cold early summer evening.

Bring the Canaras Boats In

2019-Sep-252019-Sep-24 adohertyhLeave a comment

Fall may have officially begun, but the warm weather seems to contradict the calendar. I’m left wondering… When will the boats be pulled out and never returned to the lakes of the Adirondacks in 2019?

Adirondacks June

2019-Jul-03 adohertyhLeave a comment

Is there any better place to be at the end of June than the Adirondacks? A soft carpet of moss and pine needles, a smooth varnished wood bench, and a evening view of Saranac Lake makes a great combination.

Cozy Canaras

2019-Jun-072019-Jun-06 adohertyhLeave a comment

Settling into a camp cabin on an early summer’s rainy evening reaches maximum coziness. Though I have captured images of Camp Canaras before, those were typically exterior shots, rather than the charming interiors of its cabins.

Complicated Cabins

2016-Jul-20 adohertyh1 Comment

“Cabin” is more an aesthetic style than a humble building in the North Country. At St. Lawrence’s Camp Canaras, the cabins are large structures with complicated architectural flourishes; at midnight, they take on a Tolkeinesque vibe.
