Hello Steemians!
For my weekly post, I thought I'd share some pics of my trip to upstate New York not far from the border of Canada - to the Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain region, which held the Olympics in 1932 and again in 1980. The Adirondack Park is 6 million acres, 2 million of which is owned by New York State, providing the largest publicly protected area in the United States. My son spent 5 years in school there, training at the Olympic Mountain ski area and it was nice to explore little nooks and crannies with my handy-dandy iPhone to capture some lovely places like the red barn pictured in the post and the little pond I found by accident on a hiking trail or the tall grasses under a dramatic sky to that cloud-dotted sky itself! These are the moments that I live for and love and I'm so happy to share with you!
Where was this upstate ? I used to live upstate for 14 years before moving to NYC, it’s so peaceful and quiet there compared to NYC
Hello my dear! This was in Lake Placid. Very cold, but pretty area! And like you say, so peaceful compared to NYC! Wow, 14 years upstate? Where did you live?

Thank you, dear! :D
Great images!
When I was living in NYC I only made it Upstate once, to Lake Minnewaska. It looks very similar - a beautiful part of the world!
Ahhhhhh a favorite spot! I used to take my kids there in the summer! There are rattlesnakes all over the place tho :O I'm very scared of snakes. Thanks so much for stopping by! A pleasure to see you! :D
I'd be rather wary of rattlers too! good thing we went in March , when there was still plenty of snow around...
They are impressive, @ilanaakoundi!
I wonder, what post-processing did you use? It looks very harmoniously
Thanks so much! I use my iPhone with an awesome app called Hipstamatic! It's super cool!
It's definitely coil!
TY! :D
Sorry, typing from a phone... ))
