White pine, red oak, and paper birch are common in this view today because two centuries of timber removal has reduced the success of the original late successional dominants. According to the "witness trees" noted in the original lot surveys in Salisbury, the most common trees in the late 18th century were ...

Since the first image of this garden was made on July 10 (www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=28793), my efforts here have been applied mostly to weeding, mulching, and eating. Normally we would be entering the most delightful three month season of fresh produce, but this year the late blight (www.nytime

The Addison County Fair and Field Days is the largest agricultural fair in Vermont. I thought this one might fool the stitcher. Many thanks to the GigaPan Stitcher Team. Notes: I used an old Nikkor 105mm lens. There is no metering, so the EXIF data (and stitcher notes) are incomplete, but it is a real lens, no...

Occupied in 1999 after six years of planning and four years of design and construction, it cost $47.3 million. About 40% of students have at least one class scheduled in the building each term. At its cen...

Since 1920, this campus has been home to the Bread Loaf School of English, which offers summer graduate courses and an MA degree. In 1926, the Bread Loaf Wr...

Twenty percent of the town of Salisbury, Vermont is federal property within the Green Mountain National Forest, and that includes most of the land in this view. The Forest Service ensures that trees on this land never get large enough to frighten people or damage wildlife. Mount Moosalamoo, to the left of center, is ...

This vegetable garden is in the well-drained sandy loam of a 13,000 year old ice-contact alluvial fan. Soil fertility is enhanced by tilling under 30 cm of tree leaves each autumn, and several cm of composted cow manure each spring. During the growing season, beds are mulched with compost and old hay. Most of the pr...

The ancient delta in the center foreground was farmland in the late 19th century, and became Branbury State Park in 1945. The sandy sediments have been worked into the best beach on the lake. The vantage point is an outcrop of Cheshire quartzite surrounded by one of Vermont’s rarest forest communities. The thin ...

This north end of the lake has the nicest beaches where glacial rivers built deltas 13,600 years ago. The northernmost part of the lake, to the right, is surrounded by a low sandy plain which is the largest delta complex. This plain is the location of Camp Keewaydin, Camp Songadeewin, and some of the older summer cotta...

The town of Addison is the flattest and the most fertile part of Vermont. The plain extending west to Lake Champlain was the bottom of a glacial lake and post-glacial estuary from 14,000 to 11,000 years ago. The clayey sediments are more than 30m deep in places. The soils are slow to dry and require powerful equipmen...
