Skillman winter landscape

I was stuck inside on Monday and again today. My camera was itching to go out and capture the winter landscape around my town of Skillman. I didn't go too far.

 

I drove along Cherry Valley Road under tree branches heavy with snow and ice. Ice-balls and snow fell onto the car as I drove. I drove up to Great Road (Route 601) and into Skillman Park. I got a few shots there before getting over to Burnt Hill Road and then up to Skillman Road.

I got some shots of the farm fields, now completely covered with snow.

From Skillman Road, I went onto Great Road and pulled over near the high school to get some shots of Selody farm.

Then back onto Skillman Road and then onto Burnt Hill Road toward Route 518.

From 518 I pulled into Mountain View Road where I got some photos of the hay bails. Then back onto Cherry Valley Road toward home.

I stopped to take a photo of the "Blue House" then headed home.

Snoopy -- view source for mobile Safari

Snoopy is a bookmarklet for snooping on web pages. It's intended for use on mobile browsers (such as Mobile Safari on the iPad) where you can't view-source to poke around under the hood of sites to see how they're built. You might find it useful for your desktop browser, too. Mark Perkins

I discovered this excellent solution while helping a friend solve a CSS problem with his website. We were at the client's office and unable to access his site due to the client's web filter restrictions. So we pulled up his website on my iPad but couldn't view the source to see what might be causing the issue. Snoopy helped a great deal.

Before They Pass Away

Putting aside a successful career, British photographer Jimmy Nelson embarked on a treacherous, lengthy journey to document the last remaining indigenous people of the world. From the thick, wet Amazon rain forests of Ecuador to the frigid tundras of Siberia, Nelson sought out and spent significant time with each native culture, grasping a genuine understanding of their lives and traditions. Shot with a 50-year-old plate film camera, Before They Pass Away is a poignant chronicle of heritage and humanity that threatens to be lost forever.Jenna Garrett
