Fort Hill by lauriehiggins

Fort Hill

This is a memory place for me. In my youth, back when I ate fast food, I used to grab a taco salad from Wendy's at the Orleans rotary and then head here to eat it in my Jeep. The views are expansive from any angle. This is the view facing Eastham. An older man called me over to his car for a chat about the area. While he sat in his warm car, I nearly froze, but I couldn't figure out how to politely get out of the conversation. My fingers still hurt.
I can see how sharp the land looks meaning cold temps! Also the snow is a giveaway. You could have blown on your fingers and shook them up and down and even jumped up and down!

You get the BEST clouds in your shots! They always look painted in. And I'm not so great at getting out of conversations either, lol

i guess that is what happens when you are such a nice person. It really is a great view. We have a Fort Hill in Edmonton that leads from the southside to the river. It has a nice skyline view from there. I will have to get a shot of it one of these days

This is such a brilliant shot with the fence in the foreground and that gorgeous blue sky! Makes me want to take a full breath of fresh air!

It's awful when people corner you like that and you can't get out of the conversation fast enough... Hope your fingers have thawed by now :)

I can see why it was a favorite spot. I could get lost in thought there myself.

Beautiful vista. I can see you sitting on this fence for hours.

Ah, beautiful shot. Great combination of winter colors. Memory place for me too. When we came here on vacation we always included this lookout spot.

What a wonderful perspective to shoot from. I've been loving those blue skies and gold sea grass. Can't say I don't miss looking at the scenery. Wonderful photo, Laurie.

I can see why, beautiful! I sympathize with the conversation getting the best of you, I do the same. Hope your fingers warm up quick!
