Photo of the day

Back in June I volunteered with the Northern Forest Canoe Trail in the Adirondacks of New York. We worked on a section of portage trail around the lower locks along the Saranac river.

Snuck out for another overnight on Friday. Nice living a 30 minute paddle to one of the CRPT campsites. About 930pm, well after my bed time and well after dark, a group of scouts showed up, startling the heck out of me. Five highschoolers and a scout master. Chatted with them some in the AM -- canoeing seems to be one of their regular things. Good to see them in boats, and made for a nice early morning photo op.

Yesterday morning on the Lake of Thoune, Switzerland. The clouds on the mountain peaks announce stronger wind, we call it "föhn" (the foehn or föhn wind is a warm, dry downdraft that often occurs on the side facing away from the wind direction, the lee side, of larger mountain ranges).

Autumn has begun with snow in higher elevations...

...but still few autumn colors on trees and bushes...

Sure enough, after the last photo was taken, the wind picked up and I was busy keeping the canoe upright while paddling back.
