Friday brought the first real snow of the school year, and although it didn’t stick much on campus, the snow did stick at the higher elevations of the Dome and the Greylock Massif. Here are two photographs, the first of the Dome and second of the Greylock Massif.
The photograph of the Greylock Massif shows a particularly nice detail of the view from Paresky: the mountains and Congregational Church’s roof line echo each other almost perfectly when seen from the second-floor balcony, from which I took this photograph.

These photographs are lovely.
They perfectly illustrate that turning point between Fall and Winter…still some color on the trees, but the beginning of the stark beauty of winter.
The first snow must be very exciting!

Forever beautiful, wonderful, dynamic, powerful, wild, challenging, surprising, yet dependable and reassuring, nostalgic, optimistic, oppressive, overwhelming - a mother, a lover, a sibling, a friend, occasionally a stranger, a mentor, an antagonist, a care giver, a threat, a shelter, a source, a saviour - no view of the mountains ever shows the same again - with infinite variations caused by changes in the interlocking factors of season, time of day, light, weather and flora - I would live no other place.

This is absolutely wonderful! Frank is even moved to wax poetic. Bravo, Abby!

Been accused before of being waxy but not poetic.
