Chris, I enjoyed looking through these. Your nostalgic theme works well.
Some of them might easily have been from a 50's childhood. The scenic shots
appear to have been a labour of love to create or perhaps you unearthed a
suitcase of negatives from Grandfather's attic?

Cheers
Geoff

Subject: [Leica] My time at Big Sky

Each summer we try to take a holiday to Big Sky, which is a house built on 
top of a large hill, (some call them mountains) in the town of Halcott, 
NY.  They aren't mountains in the sense that they  weren't caused directly 
by an orogeny event but rather the uplift of an entire sedimentary plateau 
which was deposited during the Acadian orogeny.  Today the plateau 
resembles a mountain range due to the subsequent erosion by streams and the 
widening of valleys and rounding of hills by glaciers.  Look at some 
pictures mostly not of eroded hills.  The house is at about 3000 feet which 
is high for New Yorkers.
