Photographs of Vermont

PHOTOGRAPHS OF VERMONT by Guest Blogger Audrey Strafford

The portfolio of Edward M. Fielding’s Vermont images remind me of what a wonderful state Vermont is and how I need to get back there soon!

The state of Vermont, though small, is a beautiful place with a lot of attractions. A lot of movies have been filmed there, like the TV series ‘NewHart’, ‘Me, myself and Irene’, ‘Beetle juice’, to mention but a few. This state has many landmarks that date back to the 17th century (I like the sound of that). It’s a small, but mighty state with a lot of scenic views and you’ll never regret a visit to this beautiful state. Here’s a piece of advice: take your camera along to capture every moment. However, over the years, great, beautiful pictures of the state of Vermont have been captured and most of them will make you want to move there.

Let’s begin with pictures of Vermont mountains. Well, it’s not called the Green Mountain State for nothing. Several pictures have captured the majestic mountains of Vermont. Information gotten from the National Park Service of the United States says that early settlement patterns were based on some certain physiographic features and the primary physiographic feature is the Green mountains which run along Western edge of the state in a North/south direction. Lots and lots of photographs of the Green Mountains have been captured.

Due west of the Green Mountains, the Hudson River, Lake George and Lake Champlain act as the physical boundaries between Vermont and the State of New York. These water features, alongside the Connecticut River, which runs in a north/south direction along the central and eastern edge of the State have been captured too. These photographs are reallyamazing.

There are so many things to see in Vermont and many fine art photographers have captured a number of things. Somehow, the animals of Vermont seem to have the same majesty and stand out.(Trust me, they look royal!) and there are several pictures of them. Lot of cows, the exotic looking foxes, porcupines, raccoons, deer, squirrels, the Eastern coyote (oh, yeah) and there are uncommon animals in this unique state, such as southern bog lemming, Northern long-eared bat ( wow ), American Marten, etc.

It’s really intriguing how even the little things that exist in Vermont are full of beauty and elegance. Thebuildings and oh yeah, the bridges!  Now, the bridges are not so little, they are in themselves strong and powerful and Vermont has quite a number of covered bridges. There are tons of covered bridges, overa hundred, giving the state the highest number of covered bridges per squaremile in the United States.

You need to see pictures of bridges like the Bedellcovered bridge, Paper Mill Village Bridge (sounds interesting), Cedar Swamp Covered Bridge, Chamberlin Mill Covered Bridge, etc. (there are just a lot of covered bridges!) Well, bridges are not ignorable, but there really isn’t anything that is ignorable in Vermont. You can’t ignore the houses, the flowers, the streets, the leaves, jewelry, almost everything that exists in Vermont. There are lots of fine art photographs waiting to happen and every piece is lovely, unique and special as the state Vermont itself.
