Circular fisheye optic. Trail along the old Champlain canal at "The Hemlocks", a hamlet along the Champlain Canal in a section known as the “long level”, a 16-mile section between the Stillwater and Schuylerville locks. The Hemlocks had a grocery store and day barn for stabling mules.

A walk along the Five Combines earlier today. The combines, built in 1845, are part of the Feeder Canal system, built to carry water to the Champlain Canal. Normally I would photograph the stepped structure of the 5 waterfalls but it's been cold enough to freeze the surface solid so no water was visible today although it was audible.

I'd like to write a bit about one of the more interesting historic places in my area. It's what was known in the 18th c and before as the "Great Carrying Place." It's the rhomboid area roughly defined by Glens Falls NY, Lake George village, #Ticonderoga, and Whitehall. It's the gap between Lake Champlain and the Hudson River. That gap caused a lot of history to happen there.
