text: Comment preview: This is less a geological split and more a progenitive split. The fact that they're geologically grouped is simply coincidental and due to ease of colonizing abutting land. This can be seen further when you start looking at colonization in the rest of the ....
  Comment preview: Exactly true. Many things beat the Nazis, not least of all many German citizens who helped to fight against the Nazis even before the outbreak of war. The British beat the Nazis in the sense that they managed to hold out alone against the full might of Naz ....

  Allison was such a dreamy bride to work with; her vision for her wedding photography was so in tune with our work and throughout the planning process she was always ahead of us with all the information we needed to make sure we captured her beautiful wedding day. We loved her colors and her flowers, and Rob’s vows had me tearing up from the balcony.
  It’s a combination of the beautiful architecture and the awesome staff. Though they didn’t see each other before the wedding, Allison allowed plenty of time for us to get images of just the two of them after the ceremony and then again during the reception. Love it when our couples do this! It is my favorite part of the day.

Some of the units on history, like the Ancient Romans… Continue Reading
  Now it is a well-known fact that the whole of the forests of our region are extremely young as far as large forests are concerned. Our forebears—cultural if not genetic—in their zeal to make their mark and craft a new world in their imagine consumed the Old Forest that ruled this land for thousands of years. To be sure, the Forest had been trimmed many a time over the ages, shrinking for a time and then growing back again. But this was different. No less than all of the Old Forest was required… Continue Reading
  JUST OFF THE NEAR-MYTHIC HIGH GREEN PINE HIGHWAY lies the hidden little town. It’s not hidden because of magic or the supernatural but because there’s nothing there but a few farms and a thousand or so people and because it’s pretty much impossible to drive there by accident. The ancient colonial town square, so very New England in its character and even its modesty, is crisscrossed by four different roads leading in and out… Continue Reading
  Four AM, damn near the navel of the sacred-of-ages forests of southern New Hampshire. The brilliant silvery reign of the Harvest Moon continues yet unabated, the lateness of the year’s own hour betrayed by the relative absence of any of the harbinger’s of dawn. The fake aurora borealis, however, those orangey slivers above Nashua and Fitchburg spriting it up in the clouds tonight, have begun to dim and make way, if not for the sun… Continue Reading
