Seven-County Hill


*Click for a better look*

*The villages of Fultonville and Fonda can be seen from here*

Here how the world looks from the top of Northview's tallest hill. On a day like this it is cold and windy up there, but it sure is pretty. We just missed a spell when the sun was playing shadow games with the clouds, making brilliant patterns of dark and blazing colors from the maples and poplars. When it is sunny and clear you can see several more sets of mountains behind the ones in the background.

However, by the time we got home from Bellinger's Orchard with some nice Ida Red apples, it was mostly all grey and threatening, so the pictures aren't all they might be. Oh, well, Alan and I had a great time poking around on the back of the big hill, which drops off in a very steep bank to a few fields in the back of the farm.

How I long for the country! Your photos make it seem like the fresh air could leap from my computer... I used to live on a high hill in Bainbridge, NY. Beautiful. "The hills are alive..." lol

Hey bro, thanks for stopping by. Love you too!

Thanks again mrs. mecomber. It was so much fun to tramp around with my two younger kids and my number one dog. He like it too!

Wonderful photos! I've had the privilege of being on your farm in different seasons and enjoying the beautiful view. I've only seen it from the house, though -- not from the highest hill.

Hey there NW, thanks, if we ever get the 4-wheel drive fixed on the truck I will give you a ride up someday if you would like. The pictures don't do it justice.

Thanks, Cubby. I hope I can get some on a sunnier, clearer day, when you can really see up into the Adirondacks. It is quite a walk up there, very steep, so I don't go very often.
