The Cemetery Committee of Salisbury, Vermont is interested in making maps of the grave stones in the three town cemeteries. A good list of the stones was compiled by the late Fletcher Brush in the 1990s. While the weather was perfect on the day after Thanksgiving, I captured the ten images stitched together here to se...

A conversation at LEAFFEST (publiclaboratory.org/notes/leaffest
) was inspired by the pan/tilt kite aerial photography (KAP) rig we flew, and eventually hatched a plan to build an inexpensive Arduino-based version for ground-based time-lapse photography. So I dragged out the old Gigapan Epic 100 and took a quick ...-

On March 20 this sugar house is usually in full operation boiling sap into maple syrup. The sap runs on bright days after freezing nights, but this year, a week of hot days and warm nights ended the run three or four weeks early. Although this is one of the more authentic sugaring operations in Vermont, it felt strange...

I tried to capture 360° coverage of this scene, but I was operating the camera-pointing KAP rig via remote control with no feedback. The kite held the KAP rig in the air several hundred feet away from me, so I was never sure where the camera was pointing when I triggered the shutter. There is full 360 coverage, but ...

The camera was pointed and triggered manually via radio control (and blindly except for periodic binocular checks). Winds were 10-15 mph at the Middlebury station. the KAP rig was about 200 feet ...

During World War II this hillside was a cow pasture. After the war it was abandoned, and by 1960 a forest of young white pines had closed its canopy over the field. Some of the slower growing pines have since died, and the canopy opened to admit enough light for many sugar maple seedlings to germinate and establish i...

There are several dozen examples of this forest community in Vermont, most of them less than a few hectares in size. This is the most recently discovered example. The community is distinguished by the presence of pitch pine, which reaches its northern range limit in Vermont, and occurs in only three community types i...

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...

Northern Hardwood Forest – Sugar maple and American beech are common in this stand and provide the yellow glow. Beech trees have reproduced by root sprouts far from the main trunks and form a dense sapling thicket. These saplings and some young sugar maples have held onto their yellowed leaves and brighten this sce...

Hemlock Forest in the Salisbury Town Forest -- Eastern hemlocks are responsible for more than 75% of both tree density and canopy cover in this stand, and hardwoods scattered among the hemlocks include three species of oak. The dark forest floor supports little more than mosses. Many of the trees here are about 200 y...
