Sky Watch Friday: Lake Memphremagog and Owl's Head

It was a beautiful, warm afternoon. Perfect for a snowmobile ride across Lake Memphremagog in Newport, Vermont. Owl's Head, the mountain on the right, is in Québec. Half of Memphremagog is in the United States and half is in Canada. I am pretty sure that the long mountain on the left is Bear Mountain in Troy, Vermont. When clicked, this photo will open, full size, in a new window.

Thank you for visiting.
