A Point of View

Wachusett Mountain State Reservation, Massachusetts   

 I can see Wachusett from the Drumlin in Lincoln.
 Not that far away from Fair Heaven Hill,
  from where Thoreau looked at the mountain and contemplated about that blue rim of the earth.

 The times have changed but the mountain still stands as the lookout of the state.
 The point where many come for the views of distant places.
 
 To the south, north, west, and east. It is all there when the skies are blue.
 
 And then there is a sudden desire to climb to the top and look around... 

Wachusett: ... that blue rim of the earth...

Wachusett: ... and then there is a sudden desire to climb to the top...

Wachusett: ... rock by rock...

Wachusett: ... where mosses find their home...

Wachusett: ... and flowers send me a blink...

Wachusett: ... while others find their ways...

Wachusett: ... to settle...

Wachusett: ... and here I am, Mt. Monadnock on the north...

Wachusett: ... the Berkshires on the west...

Wachusett: ... Boston on the east...

Wachusett: ... and then this lookout of the state...

Wachusett: ... where I stand and watch...

Wachusett: ... a descent...

Wachusett: ... with these rocks...

Wachusett: ... being just in the right places...

Wachusett: ... to come down...

Wachusett: ... through...

Wachusett: ... this blue rim of the earth...
