Another Adirondack personality!

Mirror Lake, Lake Placid NY (as seen from Mirror Lake Inn - overlooking The Cottage)

 The personalities of little Adirondack towns vary across the mountains.  Add in what happens as the sun sets and you have another reason to love the area even more. As sun set over Mirror Lake in Lake Placid, I couldn't help but try to capture the magic.

If only the picture could come alive with the twinkle!  Let your imagination go and see the twinkle of the lights  woven through the pine boughs.

As night passes, another revelation is presented.

Morning dawns.  As light comes up, the clouds are witnessed blanketing the peaks of the mountains that they engulfed during the darkness of the day.

But, watch!

Although the changes are subtle .... they are there. You can see the mountain's personality peeking out beneath the cloud layer.  Of course, my mind can't settle there.  I so want to find my way to the base of that mountain so that I can look up to see what is above those clouds. I want to see that mountain smiling .. behind her veil of mist. You have to know ... there is much more to all this. 

It's that ever changing personality ... that is the beauty of the Adirondacks.
