Pack Monadnock Mountain, Peterborough and Temple NH photographed from Buck Hill.

To the left of the frame is a water tower, 307 Country Club Rd, Newton MA. Below the water tower there are four houses on Vershire St, West Roxbury MA.

Not 100% sure, but I think the water tower right under the mountain summit is near 102 Townsend St in Pepperell MA.

To the right of the frame is a water tower, Overlook Drive, Weston MA and a cell tower, West Newton Commuter Parking, 187 Webster St, Newton MA

Sunrise this morning, April 18th, from Buck Hill! I was a little late getting up to the top this morning. Just caught the sun on the horizon as I got there.

I have been working on a short documentary film featuring some of my Buck Hill photography. It has been taking much more of my time than I expected, which is why I haven't posted in a while. Hopefully the film will be finished soon. In the meantime, here are a few shots that I took with my phone during my hike on Thursday.

Buck Hill trail approaching the summit from the south. Large trees are seen near the trail. One tree is black from a previous fire. A large rock cliff can be seen in the distance.

A scene near the summit of Buck Hill. Two bare dwarf trees rise above the horizon among rocky terrain and scrub brush.

A view from the summit of Buck Hill. The sky has many cumulus clouds.

I am not sure if I've posted this one before. But since I don't have a #photo for #fensterfreitag I'm going for either #fungusfriday (if that's a thing here on Mastodon) or #foggyfriday (if that's also a thing):

Dawn sky from Buck Hill this morning, March 10th. A huge bank of clouds on the eastern horizon, in an otherwise clear sky, prevented us from catching the sunrise. Still a nice crisp Monday morning pre-work hike.

The blue rock at the summit of Buck Hill catches the dawn light. Boston Harbor can be seen on the horizon.

The Fore River Bridge, a vertical lift bridge, in the raised position, photographed from Buck Hill.

I have been up on Buck Hill a lot during the past two years, and yet yesterday was the first time that I have seen the Fore River Bridge in the raised position. I am sure those stuck in traffic did not enjoy this, but for me it was a rare treat.

The trail up was frozen over hard, very uneven terrain from the previous footsteps through the snow. It wasn't too cold, but wind gusts of 40mph and very turbulent air made for poor photography conditions. After photographing a couple of targets, I decided to pack things up. I brought along my camcorder to get some shots for a short film I am working on. That's when I noticed the bridge. I quickly ran back to get all the gear, setup as quick as I could, without extending the tripod, and got down on my knees in the ice and snow and managed to capture some images. Shortly after I started shooting, the bridge began to be lowered, so I just made it! The air turbulence is quite noticeable, but at least I got the shot!

A snowy, early morning hike this morning, January 11th, including a traverse across the top of Buck Hill!

Looking toward Great Blue Hill, which is barely visible through the snow, from the top of Buck Hill.

Two bare stunted trees to the left of a snowy trail going up Buck Hill.

A lone pine tree behind a snow covered, rocky surface.

A large, snow covered boulder sits behind a field of bare shrubs near the top of Buck Hill.

Wind turbine farm (seven of them), Plainfield Pike & Shun Turnpike, Johnston RI photographed from Buck Hill. Yes, one can see three states from Buck Hill, though this one is very difficult to see. Between turbines five and six there are a couple of other things visible on the horizon. I am pretty sure the smaller one is the fire tower in the World War 1 Memorial Park, 365 Elmwood St, North Attleboro MA. The other tower might be associated with the RI State Police barracks in Lincoln RI, but I am not sure. The houses in the middle of the frame are on South Main St in Sharon MA.
