Fort Montgomery, on the western side of Lake Champlain near Rouse's Point, built at one of the northernmost strategic points of the American part of the lake, to protect against an attack from British Canada (1840s-1870s.)

Nice photos. Last I heard, Fort Montgomery was for sale.

Gorgeous photos, Beth. The snow here is all bunched up (and dirty) between buildings, as I imagine it is in Montreal, but spread out over the flat landscape it's lovely. I can sense the stillness. And the cold!

Who was Cassandra?


  • In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.
