New Year’s Day horizon

 

Chronologically I should have posted this photo a few days ago. I took it on my first walk of the new year. It is one of my favorite views looking out over the high meadow above Dewey Mills Pond.

I had to snap this one in a hurry just before sundown because the dog was pulling hard on her leash, being very eager to get home and eat. The meadow is much steeper than it appears, I know because I sometimes cross country ski there and it is a tough climb.

On the horizon about two-thirds of the way over from the left, you can see just a sliver of Mount Ascutney, the only monadnock in Southern Vermont and (strange trivia tidbit) eternal resting place of Charles Bronson.
