Just a quick post on visiting Deer Leap yesterday. I’d been waiting all winter to see if we got a good snow storm to go and photograph the cliff of Deer Leap here in Windham. With Moekel Pond now actually filled in again with water I thought there would be an opportunity to walk out on frozen ice and shoot the cliffs from an angle that hadn’t been seen in a few years (previously being a slow moving swap that would not have been all that fun to cross any time of year. Snowshoeing in was relatively easy though you couldn’t part at Moekel Dam due to the road being “unmaintained” and the town of Pelham simply creating a 5 foot high pile of snow on it preventing access. The ice was frozen though slushing in parts and it was pretty cool to see. I think this is the tallest cliff in Windham (not 100% sure) and it was interesting to see covered in fresh snow. A really neat piece of conservation land so close to home. Now if only people would stop spraypainting crap all over the rocks and ruining the environment for selfish reasons…
