Spur of the moment trip

This past Thursday I decided to make a little trip to the Adirondacks. It was very long trip about 6 hours from where I live. I have got to say it is 1 of the most beautiful places I have ever been, mountains everywhere fresh spring lakes, of course they were frozen. I went there with plans is to travel around and take some beautiful pictures of the beautiful scenery , I know this is the place I would like to spend a summer or two. The mountains were covered in a beautiful layer of untouched snow, peaks doing through clouds. When I get there I was in complete awe of everything around me. I drove to Whiteface mountain to see the slopes, spent a little bit of time in Lake Placid, and also traveled to Keene Valley, NY where Mount Marcy towers through the sky, as it is New York's tallest mountain.. I have plans to soon make the accent to the top of Marcy, as I think it will be a stepping stone to my passion of travel photography, and also for me to get back in the shape I wish to be in. I have some nice images I will post in just a minute.

Niagara Falls in the winter

Today was a good day, I got a chance to spend time with my family and get some nice shots for a change. We went to Niagara Falls, New York. I would say im quite lucky to have it at my fingertips, its a beautiful place to see. There is so much more to see, than just the falls. The Niagara Gorge is a sight to see, in my opinion, I think its more breathtaking than the falls. Surrounded by extremely hight cliffs, the Niagara River rushes through with a beautiful deep turquoise blue, with whirlpools and rapids. I have yet to get the shot though, as the sights I have picked out are from an area where you cant just get out and shoot.. I have to plan a route so I can park, load the pack and hike to my spots. But needless to say I did grab a few nice shots of the falls, and a few others. It was cold but beautiful with the falls flowing and the banks covered with snow.
