Life is adventure, whether going across
oceans or across town, and the spirit is quickened with the discovery of
new vistas, new people, and new things to learn about.
Nubble Lighthouse, Ogunquit, Maine
The lighthouse sits perched on an island of
rock just a few hundred yards from Ogunquit's shore. To resupply,
the keeper must launch a boat and row or motor to the mainland.
Stark white, with dark green trim, the lighthouse evokes an austere and
proper image of New England. |

Maple Lane Farm Sunrise
On a brisk winter's morning the fields of
this old New Hampshire farm lie deep in shadow. And slowly, starting
in the east, the skies begin to lighten, and then to glow with the
rose-colored tints of a new dawn. |
Summit of Mount Kearsarge
On a clear day, looking to the north, you
can see all the way to the Presidential Range of the White Mountains, and
Mount Washington beyond. Like a giant surveying the Lilliputian
landscape before you, the miniature farms and fields and lakes roll out
before you in a carpet of green and gold. |

Covered Bridge
The Cilleyville bridge in Andover, New
Hampshire was built in 1887 for slightly more than $500, to span local
Pleasant Brook. Today it is a treasure, listed on the National
Register of Historic Places, where visitors can walk from one side to the
other, hearing their footsteps echo from the wooden beams around and above
them, or stand at the windows and watch the timeless passing of the stream
below them. |
A Door in New Castle
Newcastle, New Hampshire, chartered in
1679, began as a fishing village, and still contains many homes dating to
pre-Revolutionary times. Most have been colorfully restored and
preserved, and make for a pleasant afternoon of ambling through the
neighborhood admiring the craftsmanship of our Colonial forebearers. |

Boathouse on Lake Sunapee
Boathouses still play a functional role on
Lake Sunapee, protecting water craft from the ice and storms of winter so
that their owners can enjoy leisurely, fun-filled days throughout the
summer. Many have living quarters in their second stories, and the
boardwalks and piers around them allow for fishing and diving into the
lake. |
Tracy Farm
A large New Hampshire barn survives intact
at Tracy Farm in New London, New Hampshire. |
