Photo Archive: Mountaineer’s Route

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Added photos from a 03/03/2010 ski descent of the Mountaineer’s Route on Mount Webster in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire. This route drops directly off the summit of Mount Webster and I’ve heard it called the Mountaineer’s Route. I’ve always looked up when driving through Crawford Notch and wondered if it would ever get enough snow to ski. A big snow storm with east winds answered that question.

Presidential Range Sunset, Rime, and Undercast

Monday, September 21st, 2009

Things have been a little quiet around here, but I want to change that. Introducing Photo Of The Day, I’m going to make an attempt to post a new photo every day. It might be a photo from my archive or it could be a photo taken minutes before the post. I’d love to hear comments about the photos; whether it’s a critique or you have a question.

I’m going to start with a photo taken during the winter of 2000, which is the year I would consider the start of my photography career. This photo was taken just below the summit of Mount Washington in New Hampshire. It’s a sunset view of rime coated cairns and the Northern Presidentials. The main visible summits are (L to R) Mount Clay, Mount Jefferson, and Mount Adams.

Photo Details: I can’t remember specifics, but this was taken with a Nikon film camera and most likely some type of Fuji slide film.
