Mountain Bike Trail

Walking along a narrow part of the mountain bike trail that runs up to Tassell Hill. Most of the trail would be good for cross-country skiing but maybe not this very narrow section.

Filtered Light on Janis Road

The hoar frost on the trees filters the light of the blue skies as I walked along Janis Road on Martin Luther King Day, hiking up to Tassell Hill. While the road is drivable with only a few icy patches, there is something nice about a quiet walk in the woods, observing nature without necessarily motoring.

Completed Housing Development

I took this same picture two years ago from High Point, looking down at these condos under construction. Completed, they look even more tacky -- if you want to live in a community with neighbors, don't live way out in the sticks, surrounded by farm land and the Altamont Fairgrounds.
