Day 6 VT NEK Fall Peachem, Greenbanks Hollow Bridge etc

 Continuing on with the VT Fall photos......this is day six. The fog this particular morning was the thickest fog of the week. We got up and out early to go to Peacham, which is one of the quaintest and scenic little villages in Vermont. There are two vantage points that are high up on the hillsides looking down on the village that we wanted to photograph from. The problem was the thick fog. You could barely see ten feet in front of you. :-) Here are a few shots taken in Peacham that morning. Although they aren't the views we were planning on photographing, they were pretty nonetheless.

You can see the thick fog at the end of this tree tunnel.


This sugarhouse was out of the fog and luckily the sun was just breaking through.


We then decided to switch to plan B, as the fog was relentless in the upper elevations and where we were hoping to photograph. so we headed to Greenbanks Hollow covered bridge in Danville. Although this bridge is in a Hollow, there was still a significant amount of fog there.

My friends scrambled down below to the riverbank, but I stayed above and found some shots I was happy with. 


I shot this from standing beside the bridge looking down on one side.


And this was shot looking down from the other side of the bridge.


From here, we went to Barnet to photograph Bogie Mountain Farm. I figured it would be socked in with fog, and it was. We waited a while for the fog to lift and the sun to come through and when it did, I got this shot.


The fog was relentless on this particular morning. Typically on a clear day you get a fantastic view of the farm below with mountains in the distance. This was the best I could get on this day.


We decided to head back to Peacham to check out the fog situation there. The lowlands were beautiful but there was still thick fog in the highlands so we never were able to get the view from above that we were going for. There's always next time! You would never know by looking at this next photo I took that morning that there were still areas of thick fog nearby, That's the beauty of Fall in Vermont for you!

This is New Hope Bible Church in Brownington VT . You can see the Willoughby Gap in the background. Mount Hor and Mount Pisgah flank Lake Willoughby and you can see the tops of both mountains in this image.


It was another glorious Fall day in the NEK of VT.
