I was checking the Vermont Department of Tourism’s website this evening and was quite struck with this photograph. It’s not a “gee whiz” spectacular vista, just a pleasant, classic Vermont country road scene. At first I thought I might know where this road is (North Road from Bethel to Barnard) but I’m not at all sure because I began remembering other roads that also look similar.
