We stayed at a small B&B in Arlington on the Battenkill River where my husband could walk outside to fly-fish. Below is the view from the bedroom window,
Southern Vermont between the Green and Taconic Mountain ranges is one of those places where wilderness rubs right up against culture. One of the highlights of our visit was a Rockwell Kent show at the Bennington Museum.
Rockwell Kent, well, rocks. Many of the paintings in the show were done in his studio that was on the Northern ridge of Red Mountain. In Arlington. The same Red Mountain whose Southern face towered over our B&B.
Beautiful country. The below shot was taken on Red Mountain facing South.
Also pleasing is the sculpture garden of the Southern Vermont art Center.
And went on a successful quest for the church in this Kent painting, which is called"Pilgrim Church," or "Hen and Chicks."
Found the hen.
And ditto the chicks.
Either I have writers block, or the pictures really are more elegant than any possible words I can find.
But then it is hard to go indoors, cause for a moment, you miss out on the views all around you.
Here is some illustrative commentary from the Kent show.
