NOTICE: The archive feature for blogs doesn't seem to be working on the Zenfolio hosting platform and without it there is no way to get to blog posts other than the limited number of recent articles listed on this page. Accordingly, I won't be using this platform for blogging until it is working again. I'm waiting for Zenfolio to deal with it. I will, instead, be using the blog at https://trulandphoto.blogspot.com/.

UPDATE 2/5/23: And since I've decided to leave Zenfolio before June and they still haven't fixed the issue, I won't be using this blog at all.

 

Saratoga Spa State Park

December 14, 2023  •  Leave a Comment

I took a walk around Saratoga Spa State Park this morning after a night with temperatures below freezing. There are a few interpretive signs at the park that explain that the park does not have geysers, which are powered by steaming hot water. The Island Spouter is cold water which is powered by gasses and therefore not a geyser. 

Nevertheless, a lot of things at the park are named geyser including Geyser Trail, Geyser Loop Road and Geyser Brook. Here are some photos from this morning.
