With the addition of the SSD drive to my laptop, I am able to process large digital elevation model files much quicker, so I've been playing more with hillshades of mountain ranges and making colorful pictures of the terrain below. This image shows some of the terrain in the lands west of Dannemora in Clinton County mountain country.

The Last Eberhard Faber Factory | Contrapuntalism

In 1956-57, the Eberhard Faber Company moved operations from their Greenpoint, New York location (established in 1872) to a state-of-the-art facility in Crestwood Industrial Park, located in Mountain Top, Pennsylvania.

Some 37 acres of woods were cleared for the facility, which was designed by Eyerman, Hoban, and Sincavage, a firm based in Wilkes-Barre. The 7-acre facility boasted a 250,000-square-foot factory, and by some reports, more than six miles of conveyor belts.
