Adirondack rustic table ~ Lake Placid, NY - in the Adirondack Park • click to embiggenAfter an afternoon of turning laps and giving skating lessons on the 1980 Olympic Speed Skating Oval, it was suggested, by one of the non-skaters in the family contingent, that retiring to an indoor venue with a view, a fire and a bar would be a grand idea.

So, we all trudged on up the hill and relaxed in front of a fire with hot chocolates for the kiddies and other kinds of hot concoctions for the adults. The view was great (see the Whiteface Mt. / Mirror Lake picture in the above entry) and the place - the Great Room at the Crown Plaza Resort - was retted up with number of pieces of Adirondack rusticated furnishings - furniture made of indigenous Adirondack materials - bark, twigs, tree branches and trunks, antlers, and the like.

FYI, the picture is not square because it was created by stacking/blending 2 square pictures. I only had the Oly body with the 45mm f1.8 lens and could not get far enough away from the table to get it all in one frame.
