This is probably the best and my favorite shot of all the ones I took this day, (not in a van) down by the river. VT has had quite a dry summer so I was lucky that the river had excellent flow for this section of falls. Last year the water was too high actually, I think it kind of ‘washed out’ some of the breaks.

I think this is a pretty neat shot, I like how it starts ultra wide and then tapers into a bottleneck shape as the river goes downstream.

I took this shot quite by accident, fiddling with the camera and or tri-pod, as I was getting ready to walk down the road. Sometimes some of your most interesting shots are taken in this matter, by chance. I kind of liked how it looked with the motion.

More of the Eureka Schoolhouse, this one obviously was using the Fish-eye lens in a dramatic fashion to magnify the barrel distortion.

The Baltimore covered bridge

Might be hard to pick out all the players as their numbers are not always visable but here is the complete roster regardless, Dallas Cowboys 2010 Roster.

Here is the alternate punter (I think) that got cut about a week ago,

And of course THE MAN, Mat McBriar ; along with John Phillips….what a HUGE loss that is :/

Punt return drill

A muff! which drew some boos, I think it was Patrick Crayton but DO NOT quote me! On second thought pretty sure it’s not him since that 2nd number sure doesn’t look like a 4!

#50 Sean Lee was easy to spot b/c of the special knee brace he wears

The only celeb I spotted…not as exciting as Eva Longoria last year :D
Bruce Bowen!

In all my years living in Springfield (VT), I don’t think I had ever been inside the Eureka Schoolhouse!

Pretty on the outside and pretty interesting on the inside. I can’t imagine spending an entire school day in one single room though but it’s still a lot better than what many have available to them today I suppose.

Check out the stars on that flag!

More Black River pictures. I would have liked to explore the river further but as is often the case time was a factor.

As you can see from the swaying flowers, it was windy! It made several of my shots too blurry as my Dad’s tri-pod is not very sturdy when it is fully extended.

Don’t think of it as river scum, think of it as swirling river foam :)

While this one is actually just the moving water…no foam involved ;-)

I thought for sure the North Springfield Dam would have been constructed after the great flood of 1927 but my Dad said not until the 60′s!

I think it would have been amazing to see it as high as the emergency overflow though I cannot recall a time when it was ever that high.
