Old Champlain Canal

There are numerous sections of the old Champlain Canalway Trail that I visit. The sections in the towns of Waterford, Halfmoon, Stillwater and Saratoga are the most visited. Yesterday, a visited a portion of the trail in Halfmoon, near lighthouse park on the Hudson River.

I carried only the the 100-400mm lens. The foliage was past peak and the sky pretty much cloudless so I had no real need for anything wider.

Color, Sun and Fog

Temperatures were forecast to dip well below freezing last night so I planned to head out early hoping for some frosty and foggy scenics. I made three stops, two at different locations in Saratoga National Historical Park, and at Lighthouse Park along the Hudson River in the town of Halfmoon.
