Lake Waramaug from The Pinnacle
Wednesday, July 4th, 2007
New Preston, Connecticut. Gary and I hiked up to the top of the "hill" that’s just southeast of Lake Waramaug called The Pinnacle. As one who used to be a serious rock and mountain climber, this ain’t no pinnacle. However, for us old men with heavy packs full of photo gear it was a trek and the view was terrific from the top.
Our town beach (Warren town beach) is in the bottom right hand corner of this image and the first peninsula or point is where the traditional 4th of July fireworks show is launched from. The weather is "iffy" tonight so the show may be cancelled until tomorrow.
Here’s my effort from our town beach two years ago: 4th of July Fireworks, Lake Waramaug (2005). Here are my notes about that shoot: 4th of July Fireworks, Lake Waramaug 2005 Notes.
Happy 4th of July to all Americans who still feel a bit patriotic and yes, I realize that these days it’s quite hard to feel so. Still, this used to be and once more might be a great country and a great place to live.
Hey Rich! Great photos! Makes me a little bit homesick. Anyways, long time no talk! Wanted to let you know that me and my mom now have our own blog. Just made my first post! Ok, talk to you later. -Jenn
Great to hear from you again Jenn, glad you’re doing well. I’m still drumming away as you can see by the posted rhythms.
You might want to turn comments on on your wordpress.com weblog, that way you’ll see if anyone is looking.
Be well and let me know when you’re in town, maybe we could get together and play drums a bit. My wife Anne is now playing too!
