The foggy mornings are sometimes the best. The corn is tall and the barns are plentiful here in Northern Vermont.
It was a foggy morning here in Stowe, Vermont in the northern part of the state. We are not too far from the Canadian border, and the chill that we felt in the air this morning reminded me of that. As I drove the kids to school I noticed a fog clinging to the hillsides and enveloping the town. I have always appreciated a good fog in my landscape photos. It add a certain mystique. So I grabbed my camera and went for a little tour of the town. Stowe is beautiful in just about every condition, but I especially like it like this.
Out here in the countryside of Vermont, we have corn fields for days. Red barns dot the fields, and homes are lost into the foggy mountainsides. The famed Green Mountains run right through town, which gives us ample opportunity to hike and ski in season. Mountain biking is the usual go to during the summer and fall months. So I grabbed my bike and hit the trails at Cady Hill, right in the middle of town. I even had a baby fawn jumped out in the track in front of me. No major injuries so I consider it a big success.
Enjoy the pics and the tour around town. Until the next foggy morning...

This is one of my favorite local barns to take photos of here in Stowe.

I had to slam on the breaks as I biked around the corner because this baby fawn jumped up and stood right in the path.
The downtown area of Stowe is dominated by old architecture and this beautiful community church.
During the summer and fall month, you can take the gondola up the mountain at Stowe resort.
The Butlers Pantry is one of the best eateries in downtown Stowe. I love the savory jalapeno cheddar pancakes there.
Gotta be careful when you are mountain biking through Stowe. This is at Cady Hill, where some advanced features are.
I don't believe this is still running, but there used to be the opportunity to do a zip line from the top of the gondola at Stowe Mountain Resort.
Keep traveling and keep sharing,
