The village of Lake George above Albany, NY was the last stop on my way home from Acadia. In the morning I went to the banks of Lake George to photograph a sunrise which proved to be as stubborn about rising as the one in Acadia.
While waiting for the sun, I took a few shots of the nearby scenery.
There was a wooden sculpture created in 2017 by Paul Stark, a chainsaw carver. It depicts Major Robert Rogers leading a band of Native Americans during the 1754-1763 war between British and French forces. One of the areas where Rogers operated was Lake George.

Sometimes nature just doesn’t cooperate with our vision. Beautiful photos nonetheless.

You are indeed very close to Lake George. It took me almost twenty years before I finally went. Had to wait for retirement. 🙂

While the sunrise may not have been what you were hoping for, I like your images for the mood that they convey. I loved the images of the boats in the early dawn light along with the artificial lighting with the hills in the background and showing hints of the colors of the leaves on the trees. The carving is wonderfully done and you photographed it very well also.

Thank you very much, Jerry! I did not mention that I tried to drive around the lake to find a spot to stop and take photos, but Lake George is very much developed and signs everywhere warned about trespassing on private property. The only open place was right at town center where maybe a 1/5 of a mile of waterfront was public space, with parking meters of course.
