With having my afternoons free now, I have been able to enjoy the hot summer weather we have been getting in Vermont. This week I went to the Bolton Potholes to do some cliff jumping with my brother and some of his friends. I like going to places like Bolton because they are Vermont’s hidden secrets. Besides a few Canadians jumping in their skintight bathing suits, the people around us were true Vermonters-straight out of the woods. The air over the riverbed on what was almost a 90’ day was crisp and cool with the scent of cheep beer and cigarettes. The rock walls that surround the area echoed all the “faackkks” and “shhiitts” that could be frequently heard every time someone came up out of the water. It’s these people combined with such surroundings that can’t be found anywhere else on earth. I guess I would have to say I really like that. I also really liked the patches of golden light pushing through the trees too. This photo of Austin was taken in such a spot. I wish I could have chosen more of a decisive moment though. He appears to be too posed, that of which was not the situation at all. And what’s up line of light surrounding his shoulders and head? Too artificial looking? I kind of like it, I kind of don’t…
