Kaaterskill High Peak from Dibble’s Quarry Along the Pecoy Notch Trail on the way to Pecoy Notch just east of Sugarloaf Mountain in the Catskills. Kaaterskill High Peak is on the skyline. Dibble’s Quarry was mined for sidewalk slate used in New York City but over the years that it’s been part of a state [...]

Race Brook, Southwestern Massachusetts. More ice formations from our hike up Race Brook Falls and Mt. Race. This one’s got a lot of small detail which I’m delighted the point and shoot camera picked up.

Race Brook Falls, Massachusetts. On the way down from Mt. Race Loren and I noticed a great reflection in the new ice on Race Brook. To the left in this frame the brook makes a small drop over some rocks making ripples that are freezing in this pool. I’m beginning to see how these wonderful [...]

Schaghticoke Ridge, Appalachian Trail, Kent, Connecticut. This is one of our favorite hikes in the area, from Bull’s Bridge to Kent on the AT. Near the New York/Connecticut border we crossed a little stream that had some nice ice on it. Had to stop and see if I could capture some patterns.

Dave, Bill and I took a hike up to the Pinnacle overlooking Lake Waramaug in the Macricostas Preserve yesterday. The ice on Bee Brook was stunning where the stream braided and the flow of the water was disrupted. Had it not been in the 20′s (F) we’d have hung out longer looking for more patterns [...]

Mt. Everett Reservation, Massachusetts. We hiked up Everett and then around Guilder Pond and I caught Dave out on a cliff shooting an island in the pond. Everett isn’t a hard hike although it’s the second highest point in Massachusetts. Guilder Pond is a jewell that makes the entire hike worthwhile. In July the mountain [...]

While hiking up Bear Mountain today we stopped a few times to take pictures of ice. As someone with Raynaud’s syndrome (cold hands from a faulty thermostat) it’s tough to take gloves off and take pictures on cold days. A solution for me is carrying hand warmers and more serious mittens for the times I [...]

North of Great Barrington, MA. We almost always stop at this pond on our way up to to Mt. Greylock and back in October we caught a sunrise on it. Combined with the fall colors it was quite an amazing morning of photography.

Warren, Connecticut. We still have no power and may not until Sunday and I’m posting this from a friend’s house in Goshen where they got power yesterday. Anne and I got our first shower since Saturday, it was heaven. We had a lot of damage at our place, the oak trees hadn’t lost their leaves [...]

Be an Outdoors Person The landscape photographer Elizabeth Carmel has a nice piece in the current issue of Outdoor Photographer on improving your outdoors skills and the shape you’re is in so you can get to places not easily accessible otherwise. I think her advice is excellent for everyone, not just landscape and nature photographers. [...]

My friend Dave did a great hike on Mt. Greylock yesterday. On the way there just north of Great Barrington, Massachusetts on Rt. 7 we passed Fountain pond early enough in the morning so it had some ground fog on it. These three images were done with the new version of Instagram on an iPhone [...]

The Japanese Garden in Van Nuys, California (just over the hill from west LA) is actually part of a sewage treatment plant. The garden that the water runs through is built as a traditional Japanese garden with lanterns, manicured plants, rock gardens, koi in the water, a lili pond, ducks, egrets and more. It’s actually [...]

Mitch Dobrowner: The Storms Words are inadequate to describe the experience of photographing this immense power and beauty, And the most exciting part is with each trip I really don’t know what to expect. But today I see these storms as living, breathing things. They are born when the conditions are right, they gain strength [...]

Falls Village, Connecticut. This was shot with Canon S95 two days after Irene struck. The river crested the night before but there was more water in it than I’ve ever seen. Amazing power and no doubt this kind of power in a river is what did all the damage in Vermont. There are areas along [...]

North of Great Barrington, MA. On our way to Mt. Greylock yesterday we stopped at this pond to stretch our legs (and pee). It’s a nice place to stop and most morning’s its got a nice haze over it and a nice reflection.

We hiked up on Schaghticoke ridge south of Kent, Connecticut and just on the New York/Connecticut border we found the lower end of a long beaver pond/swamp. We hiked along the eastern edge of it and there were “chews” everywhere where beaver had brought trees down or taken saplings down. We never saw the lodge [...]
