Back from the Berkshires

A view from the 12th floor of the Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Pittsfield. Mass our base for three days.

I was away for 8 days with my friend Don Jane visiting in the Berkshire mountains of Massachusetts. We also did some visiting with friends and had dinner one evening with a small group of friends including an ex-NHL player. We spent most of our time around the Pittsfield area, visiting Adams and North Adams. During this time I took over 1,000 photos...I guess that is why I had to get a new camera card mid week. The weather was mixed and the daylight short. We had some obstacles to overcome while trying out different features of our cameras...learning along the way I guess. We also got a few nice sunset mountain views....although they were unexpected or last minute shots...will see them later. Our last day started out sunny, followed by rain part way home and heavy snow by the time we arrived in London...George

The view is from down the road after a nice visiting  with Dick Elwell in Adams, Mass.

Downtown Pittsfield, Mass.

Along the way we stopped to take a few photos in upstate New York.

One of our visits was to the home of Bob Van Gelder who lives in Conway, Mass. He has a beautiful home....the red berries on the bushes out front adds great colour this time of year.

A barn along the way found in upstate New York.
