Moosilauke; Portrait of a Mountain

[Dr. Dasypodidae]

I just acquired a wonderful book (title above) at Steve Smith's shop in Lincoln. With all due respect to the fine photographers who post on this board, Eli Burakian also has a fine eye for landscape, which comes across really well in his new book, I think. Of course, I am biased about his subject matter here. Eli's photographs are accompanied by four essays, one of which appearing in chapter 7 pertains to the geology of Moosilauke. In the geology essay, Sarah Konrad (Dartmouth '89) describes well the ancient bedrock history of the mountain, although falls a little short on the glacial history, which is ironic as she is a glaciologist. Sarah was also on the U.S. women's biathalon and nordic teams at the 2006 Winter Olympics.

Sarah was a buddy of mine at Dartmouth, I didn't know she was involved in this book. I'm sure I'll pick up a copy at some point.

I bought one from Steve a week ago, stating; when I'm too old to get out on the trails, looking at this book will make me feel like I'm back out there. It is stunning, to say the least. Limited # of copies at this point, as the author had to scrape together the funds to cover the cost(s) of printing.

Very nice work! You can see 36 images from the book if you click on "my new website" and navigate the flash menu to "Moosilauke".
Image #30 is my favorite, a frosty and broad Moosilauke beyond an autumn forest.

Nice! #30 also caught my eye, a nice capture of "past-peak" autumn foliage, capturing a feel of late autumn with a view to the looming winter season beyond. Really nice.
