Picture above

The picture above is one I took while at home in Ellenburg last December. On the way to a family Christmas party, the day after a good snowfall, I decided to stop on the Narrows Bridge of Chateaugay Lake. Looking north, this is the view that greeted me. The evergreens covered in snow prompted Michaelene to sing out, with a smile on her face, "Christmas town!" We agreed that, if there ever were such thing as a Santa Claus, he'd surely live somewhere like this. With as much travelling as I've done, I'm hard-pressed to name a place with a natural beauty as diverse as the Adirondacks. Summer, fall, and winter are all filled with breath-taking images like this one. No matter how far away I am, this is where my soul is at home.
