A different view of Mt Washington. If you have ever seen one of my mini planet drone photos, this is what they look like ‘half baked.’ 32 photos, stitched together, then in Photoshop I take them, size them to a square, then through some distortion it makes a globe. I did all the steps for this one, was not happy with the results, backed out the distortion to globe step, and really liked what I saw.

The quick trip north has ended. It was short but great.

One of the few waterfalls I have not seen/photographed in New Hampshire. Bridal Veil Falls at the top of Coppermine Trail in Franconia. Says it is a five-mile round trip, but with the lot being where it is, it works out to be more like six miles. Add in a third of the journey in the pouring rain, and it was still a great hike and worth it. The last part of getting up the wet rocks for the photo above was adventurous, but other than some soaked, muddy clothes and a camera bag, and it was worth it. The wetness added to all the shots throughout the hike. A great day spent with my wife for day two of our quick escape north. Tomorrow, Polly’s for some pancakes, then home.

Kinsman Falls in Franconia Notch, New Hampshire. It has been in the dailypic a few times over 13 years. It is the most photographed waterfall in my portfolio, but it has been over four years since I last was there. My wife and I escaped reality for a couple of days (kind of – I am still doing admin work and editing when she is not looking) to get away from the busy season for a moment. Not far, just a trip to the White Mountains. No real plan. Today just happened to be a hike up the trails above the Basin.
