This past weekend I took a visit over to a small park in town called Atkins Glen and was pleasantly surprised. I had heard of the park before but never took the time to visit. It is a small park with one short trails but it was worth the visit. It was a nice slice of nature right in my backyard essentially. It gave me a place to go for a short walk and take some photos and just connect with nature.
It has been quite a long while since I went out on a photography adventure. Last weekend I took a trip up to Lake George, NY for a short trip to do a bit of hiking and photo taking. Some irony to this trip is that I have been there before and had a mishap while hiking a trail and missed the turn to get on the summit path, only to get lost taking photos and find out an hour or so later. This time around I was determined to get some good photos and summit the mountain in one pass. So the day started with sunrise which you can see below and was immediately followed up by a hike, so off we went, took the right turns and made it to the top, what a glorious view and feeling. On the way up we passed and were passed by a few groups, reaching the top one of the groups emerged from behind us as we were sitting and staring a the view. A member of the group proceeded to tell us that there is another summit a few mins further away at which point we realized, we had never made it the actual summit on the first trip. This time we took the last few minutes on the trail and made it the actual summit.
