Posted on January 19, 2022 by Steve Gingold

Eliot Porter’s book, “Nature’s Chaos,” is a favorite influence along with “Intimate Landscapes”. There is a lot to be seen in water’s frozen element.

11.27.2021 The End of Prescott Road

Posted on November 27, 2021 by Steve Gingold

Most of the gates around the Quabbin Reservoir are old roads, many of which end at the water. Gate 16 is the extension of Prescott Road which at one time led to the now former town of Prescott, home to … Continue reading →

06.03.2021 West Branch of Fever Brook Cascade

Posted on June 3, 2021 by Steve Gingold

I considered calling this a waterfall because of its clean flow. But in reality it is water leaking through an old dam that created a pond I visit often along State Forest Road in North Quabbin. Different parts of the … Continue reading →

05.12.2021 Water Wednesday-Chesterfield Gorge

Posted on May 12, 2021 by Steve Gingold

Note the lack of “fall” after water. I had intended to post the waterfall I visited on Monday, it is really more a couple of cascades, but decided it wasn’t working. At least not at this point in time. Rocks … Continue reading →

03.23.2021 A skunk in a seep

Posted on March 23, 2021 by Steve Gingold

Besides the leaves under glass this seep also hosts skunk cabbage-Symplocarpus foetidus which I visit most years at this time. For those unfamiliar, these are the flower buds which precede leafing out and create their own heat so are often … Continue reading →

03.15.2021 Textured Cascade

Posted on March 15, 2021 by Steve Gingold

There is a very large rock at the edge of the Wahconah Falls Brook downstream from the waterfall. I enjoy how it deflects the streaming flow and reflects the light off the water as well.

03.13.2021 Hop Brook

Posted on March 13, 2021 by Steve Gingold

Another from this location. I haven’t posted one from here in a while but it is a favorite to visit. Once a part of the M-M Trail (from Metacomet, CT to Monadnock, NH mountains) and now part of the New … Continue reading →

03.08.2021 An Icicle with Character-2

Posted on March 8, 2021 by Steve Gingold

There were two icicles that i enjoyed finding at the top of the little waterfall I visited on Saturday. This one is a bit more complicated to compose and I went about it from two different angles. In both cases … Continue reading →
