PERFECTION

Does it get any better than this? We have had weeks with these exact conditions. Skiing in the fields yesterday was just about perfect. And what does the image look like to you? Maybe an underwater organism? Think of Haeckel’s Kunstform der Natur. Or maybe it was some sort of unclassified creature, like a turtle propelling itself across the sand.

COOLEST BUILDING IN COOPERSTOWN

The warehouse structure behind Bruce Hall’s is the coolest building in Cooperstown. The foundation portion appears to be concrete cylinders. I can almost imagine that they were cut off silos. Or they may have been some sort of holding vessels for when the railroad was there. And then the wood structure with the curved roof seems to float, or rest very lightly on the cylinders. There is a classic symmetry to the side that I photographed. I’m sure that local historians know the whys and wherefores of how the building came to be. At any rate, it is absolutely great.
