Beneath the Flags
I think the thing that surprises me most about the Lake Placid Olympic ice rinks is how *small* they are in comparison to (e.g.) Rochester's ice arena. It's understandable that attendance would be limited back in 1932 due to the expense and difficulty of travel, but not in 1980. Still, Salt Lake City's ice arena is of a similar size... -

407 ft.
Looking down the tunnel to the summit elevator, Whiteface Mountain, Wilmington, NY. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave an address dedicating the Veteran's Memorial Highway to the summit of Whiteface, a project the president had eagerly supported while governor of New York State. During his speech, the president lamented that he would be unable to see the actual summit of the mountain--a childhood polio infection had left the president without the use of his legs, and the steep, 276-ft-ascent ridge path from the parking area at the end of the highway to the summit was unpassable in a wheelchair. Three years later, Whiteface became the first handicapped-accessable mountaintop with the installation of a special elevator and access tunnel bored through some 427 feet of solid granite rock. -

Keene Valley from the Nubble
The Keene Valley sprawls before the lens. Bounding its near extent is the ridge of Hopkins/Spread Eagle Mts; to its left (west), the trailing slopesof the Wolfjaw-Hedgehog-Rooster Comb-Snow Mountain ridge. In the far distance, near center frame, the summit of Whiteface Mountain peeks over Kilburn and Sentinel mountains (Sentinel Range). -

Autumn on the Sentinel Mountains
The orange-reds of fall are scattered across the slopes and vallys of the Sentinel Mountain range, as an early-evening sun brings out the contours of the mountains themselves. Pine and Stewart Mountains are visible center-frame; Sentinel Mountain forms the rop-right horizon; the summit of Little Whiteface Mountain and its ski lifts are visible near the lower-middle of the shot. -
