A Touch of Gray

I captured a light dusting of snow this morning on the summit of Mt. Shaw, part of the Ossipee Range just east of Lake Winnipesaukee. This is officially called the Ossipee Caldera, a much older and much smaller relative of Haleakala Crater on Mau'i. Volcanic rock (including pumice) has in fact been found on the other (east) side near Ossipee Lake. And you can see the remains of the crater at the top from this angle.

Just above the nearby treeline on the far side of the swamp closest to the camera, you can see the Castle in the Clouds, a mansion built about a hundred years ago that has been a tourist attraction for many years. It's currently undergoing a major rehab. Click on post title for CITC info.
