Another Teaser...
 

Just where on the Lake "really" is:

Just Taking A Guess...
 

Is that Rattlesnake Island on the left? With the little sail boats?

Do I have to go for a boat ride?
 

I don't think that is Rattlesnake on the left.. do I now have to go for a boat ride looking for the location?

Drats... a boat ride... what a chore! :)

The forecast is better for us out here on the island. Yesterday was glorious. Today is a bit nippier but still no rain. There is an east wind, so I will have to bundle up.

I will take a picture if I find it.

Looking back toward Alton Bay
 

The land on the left with the small sailboats visible is Black Point. If you look at the hill in the background just to the right of center, you can see the large clearing or meadow which is just above Alton Mountain Road. In the center is the mouth of Alton Bay. On the extreme right you can just see a small tip of Little Mark Island (very dark green) directly above the teak step on the gunwale.

I Agree
 

I think GH is correct. You can see much more detail in the full size image on PhotoPost here.

Great Picture, GWC!!
 

The peak to the right, reminds me of Stonedam Island.... First of all, tell me somthing, are we going to get any points for the right guess to this very technical question? ;)..... After all, we have a Holliday weekend coming up, and I am already totaly off for it!

If you were to take a picture, down Paugus Bay way and ask the same question,..... I may never know what it is that I'm talking about,...
But I will give you a snappy answere:) ;)

I agree with GHfromaltonbay, it's very similar to the On Golden Pond shot.

Alton Bay
 

The description of the original photograph by Just_Sold is, "Going NW from Rattlesnake Island 6/29/04", but I think that is wrong.

My photo is looking SSW from light #22 (Littlemark Island) towards the town of Alton Bay. Note the diagonal cut in the trees in the far hill. My guess is that Just_Sold's photograph was taken about 1/2 mile south of mine. I'm not sure if the point on the left is Echo Point or Fort Point.

DRH is right about the larger, clearer image in the Photopost. The large rise to the right is located very near to the scenic lookout on Route 11. You can make out the flat area where the lookout is located, but from this angle you can't see the rock formation across the road where they blasted to put thru the highway.

Oops
 

I stand corrected. I reviewed the photo and the one taken just before it http://www.winnipesaukee.com/photopo...cat=500&page=5 and it is looking down Alton Bay with Black Point on the Left and a touch of Little Mark on the right. I have corrected the photo comments. Sorry for any confussion.
