     These were taken on Thanksgiving after the snow. It is pretty lucky timing to get a shot of snow around an unfrozen pond!

     On this day some friends showed me around the Bear Hole Reservoir area in West Springfield. We parked at a cell phone tower at the end of a trail, right near the 1 on the map. (We got to the trail at the end of Morgan Road, in West Springfield.) This is a picture of the tower, followed by a really goofy looking one I tried to take using the panorama feature on the iPhone to go vertical and get the entire tower in one shot.


     Then we walked a bit to location 3 where the trail goes under the pike and took a look at all the graffiti that is there. (Side note, since our trip there, one of my friends told me he got chased out by cops on ATVs. I don't remember seeing any "no trespassing" signs, but if you plan to come here be aware that it may not be legal.)

Hadley: Fields and Bike Path 6/22/14


    This is a part of the Norwottuck Rail Trail in Hadley, right near the Connecticut River. In the second photo I am standing on the levy that runs along Cross Path Road, and on the 4th of July the Amherst fireworks are perfectly visible from here, though a bit small.
