A friend and I climbed Azure Mountain today. I have been walking quite a bit this winter, mostly indoors and mostly flat ground with some stairs mixed in. I wanted to see if my legs, specifically my knees are up to climbing. Happily, they are, at least for the 1 mile up that is Azure.
It was a very hazy day, partly because of the humidity but mostly because of smoke from wildfires in northern Manitoba. Yes, I said Manitoba, and yes, it is half a continent away, but the jet stream was carrying the smoke all the way to the Adirondacks today. The views were very limited. I had my IR camera along, so I decided to use that mostly It worked pretty well, cutting through the mist and smoke better than my eyes could.

This rock 'lair' is about halfway up the mountain. It has the aura of a bear's den, but it would have to be a small bear, a cub perhaps. It had been 4-5 years since I had climbed Azure, despite it being the closest mountain to my home.
Enjoy the photos. Here I insert a reminder that I sell prints. Contact me if you are interested. They are copyrighted. If you want to share the link to this page, please.
