Sunrise this morning, June 2nd, from Buck Hill!
Has it really been a month since I posted a sunrise photo? The Sun is currently rising over Chikatabut Hill, to the right of center in this shot. It will rise behind Chikatabut until some time in July.

The dome of Hingham Town Hall, 210 Central St, Hingham MA photographed from Buck Hill. Behind the town hall are a water tower, a building from the MassDOT maintenance facility, and The Preserve at Cohasset apartment complex, all in Cohasset MA. The flag and flagpole are at King Oak Hill Park in Weymouth MA.
My amateur, documentary short film is now available to view on YouTube. The channel is not monetized.
Sunrise this morning, May 3rd, from Buck Hill! A very foggy morning, that obscured the sun crossing the horizon, but made for some spectacular colors as the light broke through. About ten minutes after shooting this sunrise sequence, the fog would roll in even thicker, lowering visibility to a few hundred yards.
A rainy dawn this morning, April 26th, from Buck Hill!
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.
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.
Dawn and sunrise this morning, February 22nd, from Buck Hill!
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!
Sunrise this morning, January 25th, from Buck Hill! Temperature was 10°F when we parked at the trailhead for the hike up.

A snowy, early morning hike this morning, January 11th, including a traverse across 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.
