Some Falls, Peaks, and Two Bridges

Sandapee, NH, Library

 

    The falls at Overlook Park in Ticonderoga, NY.
    Only saw the stream's name once; believe it was La Flatte -- or something similar. [Actually the river between Lake Champlain and Lake George is named La Chute -- perhaps because of the many falls and rapids such as you see here.]

    Zooming in....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    At a hairpin turn on MA8 I stopped to take a photo of Massachusetts' high point: Mt. Graylock; but I'm not certain I got the right peak.

 

 

 

 

 

    As you can see looking west there are several prominent peaks on the horizon; check out the first link below.

 

 

 

 

    Because of the private residence in the trees to the right it was difficult to photograph the one remaining bridge on Lake Champlain from Ft. Henry, NY, to Chimney Point, VT.

 

 

 

 

 

    Here's a slightly better view of more of the bridge as well as some of Lake Champlain to the left.

 

 

 

 

    While I didn't have my camera ready as I drove west over the Rip Van Winkle Bridge, I felt I could make a U-turn and repeat the crossing again. But then I discovered toll booths for eastbound traffic. Check out the 3rd link below.
