A Summer on Moosilauke

On my second day of work, just as I summited Moosilauke, I spotted two Moose on the east side of the alpine area. The cow and calf, about 25 yards from me, didn't notice me for about ten se ...

In and out of the clouds the whole day, one cloud went straight through the mountain, and then was visible as it cleared.

One day I became fascinated with the lines of the mountain. The flow from the main summit to the South Peak particularly struck me. I tried to capture it here.

I love the cairns on the summit of the mountain. Some are over one hundred years old. Here are two (the oldest on the mountain on the left) in the foreground, with the Kinsmans and Francon ...

Another day in and out of the clouds. I enjoy days like this just as much as the clearest of days. This was one of the best of the in-and-out type days.

Spending over 50 days on the mountain this summer, I learned to appreciate atypical beauty - such as that of the summit signs themselves.

An eerie day on the summit. The mountain has many moods - happy, sad, jealous, etc. Sometimes it is just creepy. Hard to capture such a feeling, however.

The Gorge Brook trail at sunset towards the end of the summer. This trail in particular takes on a completely different character going downhill versus going up hill.

Another picture of clouds on an in-and-out day. Well, far more in than out, but on one of the rare moments out of the clouds, a fascinating scene unfolded itself to the north.

The foggy days on the mountain created their own beauty. On the second mile of the Gorge Brook trail, a spectacular sight unveiled itself to the south of the trail.

The same sunrise expedition, but looking east instead of south-west. This picture also was captured with an Olympus OM-1 and then digitized.
