DRIVE from JAMESTOWN to SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY
A. Paul & I set off on in the morning with Jamestown covered in a layer of ice. The temperature was 27 degrees and the sun struggled to break through a layer of clouds as vast as a sea.
As we continued our drive towards Corning, NY, the sun finally broke through casting light across the freshly snowcovered landscape. Snow clung trees in pristine fields of snow provided us a winter wonderland for the remainder of our drive, especially enhancing the small town of Corning's downtown main street where we made a brief detour.
Corning is home to the Corning Museum of Glass which showcases one of the world's largest glass collections depicting over 3500 years of glassmaking.
http://www.cmog.org/ In addition to its historical coverage of glassmaking, Corning also showcases new, innovative glassmaking in its Glass Innovation Center and an extensive contemporary glass arts gallery. It is definitely worth creating a visit to Corning to see the town and the museum.
We continued our drive on to Saratoga Springs, NY, where long time friend, Dr. Olney, extended his hospitatlity for our next two days' visit to the area.
I will continue to share links to the arts scene in Saratoga before parting to Boston on Sunday and home to Provincetown, MA on Monday.
