Today we went back to Woodstock, a little town we enjoyed visiting 3 years ago. For that visit we had cloudy skies. This time the Sun made a nice difference. The picturesque Quechee (key-chee) Gorge, Vermont’s Grand Canyon, is the first stop after leaving the interstate. We took lots of pictures with the cloudy skies 3 years ago. We took lots more today. In fact, since the sun was a little low when we got there at 10 AM, we came back to the gorge later in the day after we visited Woodstock and took even more pictures.
Next it was on to the town of Quechee. It has a dam and a covered bridge. It is the site where Penny took her “horse head” rock pictures. Again the sun made for better pictures. The town was not as crowded as it was last time so we went inside the building beside the dam. Inside there is a glass blowing factory, a potter and a hydroelectric generator and a restaurant that overlooks the river and bridge. A fascinating stop that we missed last time around.
We stopped up the road at another covered bridge and then went on to Woodstock. We walked up and back the main street there. Then it was back to Quechee Gorge and a loop scenic drive back to the interstate.
We had a good day overall.
Penny and I enjoy taking pictures. We are taking pictures of the same things, many times from the same vantage point. We each have a sufficiently different eye to capture alternate interpretations. Certainly some of our shots are almost identical but a surprising number are completely different. We have a sort of friendly competition to find a picture the other doesn’t see and we also point out what we think are good shots to one another.
It is definitely different up here. When you walk into a shop or store instead of being greeted you are ignored. People are mostly friendly but some are downright rude. Most of the drivers here are pretty good. There are also large quantities of cheese and maple syrup available everywhere.
