One of the many reasons I climb mountains...in any season!<br />
<br />
The view from North Twin. The Franconia Ridge is bathed in sunshine, and the low hump at the center of the photo is Mount Galehead, one of the more modest NH 4,000-footers. If you follow the ridge from Galehead's summit, you can just make out a white dot in the saddle below the summit; that's Galehead Hut.<br />

The sunrays are simply a really awesome bonus.

One of the many reasons I climb mountains...in any season!

The view from North Twin. The Franconia Ridge is bathed in sunshine, and the low hump at the center of the photo is Mount Galehead, one of the more modest NH 4,000-footers. If you follow the ridge from Galehead's summit, you can just make out a white dot in the saddle below the summit; that's Galehead Hut.

The sunrays are simply a really awesome bonus.

  • Mountain ranges offer such a sense of turbulent calm.  En route up the Moosilauke Carriage Road, the mountains unfurl like waves: Presidentials, Franconia Ridge, and what I think might be Weetamoo.  The shoulder of Moosilauke slopes left up and out of the frame like a tsunami.
  • The Presidential Range is aglow with sunset on a cold, cold January day...it's not just cold air that inspires breathlessness.
  • Chocorua Lake, perfectly calm in the autumn fog.
  • Mid-November alpenglow show on the Presidential Range, White Mountains, NH.
  • Sunset fog swirling in, on an uncommonly warm October evening, framing Mounts Welch and Dickey above Campton Pond.
  • Black Mountain presides over Guinea Pond in the Sandwich Wilderness, White Mountains, NH.
  • Mid-November alpenglow show on the Presidential Range, White Mountains, NH.

  • A layer cake of seasons and summits from the shore of Lonesome Lake.  The Franconia Ridge is further away than it seems, across the Notch!
  • Sunrise on Squam Lake, late March.
  • Seems like you could dive either up or down, and it would still be liquid.  Five Finger Point, Squam Lake, NH.
  • Rock meets fire meets water meets air; the elements get together and have a party.  Not a bad way to greet the day!<br />
