From its perch in the hills above New Paltz, Mohonk Mountain House has an exceptional view on clear days.

Empty Mohonk Dock
Mohonk Mountain House’s dock is normally busy with canoes and paddle-boats during the warmer months, but that’s… uh… not the case when ice and snow encrust the wood.
Winter Streets I & II
Winter in the North Country grips the homes and streets of Canton, New York.
Flags in the Chapel
St. Lawrence’s chapel is filled with the flags of many nations, but they look even better when paired with a crowd of people—hopefully someday again.
Storm on the Adirondack Horizon at Sunset
When an autumn day at St. Lawrence University ends with a storm above the Adirondacks, those horizon raindrops scatter warm hues back to the quadcopter camera.
Rain Chases the Sunset
One of my favorite shots of 2020 is this quadcopter-captured image of a thunderstorm on the horizon chasing the setting sun, with the village of Canton’s public works in the foreground.
Sykes in the Winter
Unlike the generally empty dorms of St. Lawrence over winter break, Sykes is home to many of our international students who remain on campus. The traditional architecture seems natural under a crust of ice, with a sort of “Harry Potter staying at Hogwarts” vibe.
Sightseeing
The castle is the other way! Of course, this sightseer is aiming in just the right direction to see the Dancing House upriver.
Along the River in Old Town
This expanse of dramatic clouds, Petrin Hill, and the Vltava River was across the street from our hotel in Prague. While always a gorgeous view, most evenings brought rain instead of this kind of skyscape. I was lucky to find this scene on the final night of the trip.
Sky for a New Semester
Though St. Lawrence’s students are arriving to campus in a safety-mandated trickle over the next few weeks instead of a single-day flood, there’s still a sense of the snow-blanketed halls coming back to life. I love the energy of a college campus in full swing.
Smoke in the Distance
Citizens of the North Country spent much of their spring quarantines in the woods; the campfire smoke from just beyond Lampson Falls attests to the family spending the night below.
New Year: Clouds Over Petřín
My hope for the New Year is more opportunities to travel to places like Prague and capture views like these.
Water Above Falls
The apparently slow and placid water above Lampson Falls seems out of character with the dramatic torrent downstream.
Dinner on Vltava
The holiday season in Bohemia is ideally appreciated from a heated outdoor table on the Vltava River.
Vltava Bird Pattern
Along Prague’s Vltava River, this pattern of one-bird-per-piling appears to be very strict throughout the day. At sunset, however, the pattern reaches its most dramatic. I guess everyone wants a view.
