The calm and gentle vibes of a broad and lightweight glider has a certain juxtaposition with the semi-sinister military-industrial implications of “Raytheon”.

Photographer in the Field
Here is my Decaseconds partner in crime during our visit to Raven’s Run in Kentucky last summer. We were on a cliff high above the Kentucky River, getting our landscape photography fix.
Quadplane
The early stages of flight produced such remarkably fragile vehicles; when placed against the jet fighters of later periods, aircraft like this one look like insects.
Dorm Bridge
Trinity College’s “concrete jungle” of dorms have some surprisingly cool architecture for utilitarian dorm buildings.
Phantom
In a museum full of twentieth-century aircraft, this F-4 Phantom stood out for its enormous size.
Neogothic Tunnel Lights
Though much of Trinity College’s campus has switched to white LED lights, this section still has the orange sodium lights I remember from my days as a student.
Jarvis B
Jarvis B was my dormitory during my freshman year at Trinity College. Before it was renovated into quads, it was once a block-long hallway of architectural weirdness.
Reunion on the Quad
The first warm days of the spring immediately put me in mind of summer nights.
Late Spring Clouds Above the Adirondacks
Late spring brings some of the best sunset clouds to Saranac Lake, but the evening temperatures would never let you confuse it for summer.
Night Comes to Jarvis
Trinity College’s Long Walk was my home for four years, and I still find its warm evening glow to be comforting.
Little Prince Tree
On Earth Day, I really like the image of the next generation, growing up in nature under the shelter of elders.
Island from the Shore
With the evening sky reflected in the water, this island in Saranac Lake appears to float like a fuzzy green saucer.
Boathouse Dock
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.
Experimental… With Wood
When I think about experimental vehicles, I tend to think of hypermodern materials: carbon fiber composites and titanium alloys. This experimental seaplane at the Aviation Museum of Kentucky, on the other hand, gets some serious mileage out of wood.
Life Preserver View
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.
