I am a amateur nature and fine arts photographer who was trained in black and white photography in the early 1970's, worked professionally a bit and then set aside all artistic pursuits until about 2003. I enjoy the creative aspects of photography and look forward to sharing with others of similar interests.

Third Lake & Spectacle Lake Photos


On January 2nd I went on a solo snowshoe trip to Spectacle Lake in the Southern Adirondack's Ferris Lake Wild Forest, town of Arietta, Hamilton County, NY. It ended up being a round trip of 13 miles, taking close to 7 hours to complete. It was a relatively warm day, just below freezing, with about 3 inches of new snow on the ground. Going out the trails were unbroken, and coming back passing snowmobiles had passed by creating packed trails that were often muddy and nearly impassable in spots. The photo above was taken along the south shore of Third Lake, looking North with Good Luck Mountain in the background.
