This past weekend I attended the NECCC Conference (New England Camera Club Conference). I highly recommend it for the photographers out there. These are photos taken during some downtime. The building shots are of the UMASS Amherst Campus Center. The tunnel shot was taken in Bellows Falls.
I have been itching to get back down to Bellows Falls because I know I have only seen the tip of the iceberg (photography wise). The kids and I spent most of the day there. First we climbed Fall Mtn. for a perfect view of the city. We then ventured down to the river to talk to the fisherman just below the dam. They have been catching walleye, pike, and rainbow trout. We then ventured across the river to Bellow Falls and checked out the old mill buildings and bridges. We met a family who grew up in Walpole, but now live in Connecticut. He told me stories of climbing along the river below the bridge when he was a kid. Overall a great day exploring and of course taking pictures. Most of these shots are in HDR taken with multiple exposures and tripod. Enjoy!

Some photos from my walk on the rail trail behind Timken. A good test for the camera with temperatures hovering at only 8 degrees.
I took my two young kids to the Glory Days Festival in White River on Saturday. We also took the Green Mountain Railway train to Norwich and back. It was a good time.
The first photo is actually two separate photos of the tractor’s axle. I was amazed at how well they matched with no cropping.
