The sun was shining as we set out to visit the highest peak in the Northeastern United States. We decided to drive the 8 mile long carriage road overlooking the Presidential range of the White Mountains. It turned out to be a white knuckle ride for driver and passenger who are used to driving on the opposite side of the road!
The first shot is the Mount Washington Hotel which is situated on the west side of the mountain range. It was originally built between 1900-1902. It closed in 1942 due to World War II. A Boston syndicate bought the property in 1944 for around $450,000. The Bretton Woods monetary conference took place that year establishing the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
Trains run regularly transporting passengers up and down the mountain.

You have quite the knack for capturing interesting sights. Even the fuel tanks in #2 look pretty good.
Were you using a tripod for these?

Great shots, Sylvia! And welcome to the New World! As someone who has stayed at the hotel, ridden the Cog Railway, and hiked to just about every location you've photographed, you caught a rare blue-sky day on the mountain. Particularly like the silhouette of the train engine against the blue sky and the view looking down to Lakes of the Clouds hut with Mt. Monroe in the backdrop. The clouds add a nice touch lending a surreal quality to the scene.
Hope the rest of your holiday is turning out as well as these shots. Cheers!

Great shots Sylvia. You have captured the mountain well. I was born and raised in the great state of New Hampshire. If you have the time while visiting our country and New Hampshire take the ride to Pittsburg better known as moose alley you will not be disappointed. I hope you will be there for peak foliage the reds are amazing.

Wow, Sylvia, these are fabulous. I've lived most of my life within a couple hours drive of that place and have never been to the top. Next tear for sure!.
