urban ku # 63 ~ Wadhams, NY

Boquet River ~ Wahdams, NY • click to embiggenBefore we moved to the Adirondacks, I had spent all of my time in the Adirondacks on the water (2,500 lakes and ponds, 20,000 miles of waterways) and in the forest and mountains. All together that accounts for about 95 percent of the Adk Park.

One area which comprises a large part of the rest of the park, and one to which I had never ventured (before moving to the Adirondacks), is the Champlain Valley region. In fact, the entire eastern border of the park is the Lake Champlain shoreline. This region is rolling fertile farmlands - lots of apple orchards and grain - dotted with tiny lakefront quaint New England-style villages and hamlets.

Wadhams is located a few miles (as the crow flies) from the Lake Champlain. It use to be a mill town. Now it's just a tiny-tiny hamlet with a fantastic coffee/bakery shop and a few homes. The old dam on the Boquet still makes electricity which is sold to the 'grid'.

Love this panoramic image. I noticed you used your pinhole filter in this image too. Where could I find this filter to try it.
Love your blog.

Thanks Jean_Pierre, I appreciate the feedback.

I have sent you the recipe for my homemade 'pinhole/holga filter' by email.
