Stargazer
No stars visible on a cloudy day.
The Dam
Happy thanksgiving to everyone!
This dam at Bays Mountain holds back what used to be Kinsport’s municipal water supply. There’s something strange about driving past the dam on the way into the park, something about being acutely aware of the water level just on the other side.
Navigator
Nice day for a walk in the woods.
Foliage Tunnel
College campuses have long, tree-lined walks; those are great places to find this “yellow leaf tunnel” effect.
Falls
Lean
That was a nice day for a stroll in the woods.
Corn Hill
Even the small local farms of the North Country can seem overwhelmingly huge, and viewing them from a quadcopter’s vantage point doesn’t mitigate the effect.
Towers and Farms
A central theme to my photography is visualizing the progressive gradient from dense urban areas to natural settings. Some of my favorite images are cases where that gradient is particularly abrupt or unexpected. Until I began flying quadcopters, I didn’t expect that I’d be able to find the same transitions in the North Country, with its much more homogeneous rural structure. Here in Canton, however, the juxtaposition of apartment towers, shops, and bridges with forests, islands, and farmland creates a similar effect. The North Country supports this cultural difference between folks who live “in the village” and those who live “out of the village”.
Lower Falls
Not quite as dramatic as the upper falls. It’s hard to call them “falls” at all. There is a certain tranquility to them.
Converging Trees
Blue Transition
The rise of an almost-full moon, framed between branches. Autumn arrives early in the North Country.
Upper Rock Creek Falls
The falls themselves aren’t the most impressive in the area but the cliffs surrounding them were really something.
Rock Creek Zen
It may be the fall everywhere else, but here in the South it still feels like summer.
Boathouse Foliage
Rural college campuses have components I’d never considered: rivers and boathouses and forests. The arrival of (slightly) colder weather means the canoes and kayaks will be closed away for the winter. Autumn, here we go!
