Description
Spindle point at sunrise on a bitter cold 10°F February morning. Located on Meredith Neck, next to Weirs Beach, on Lake Winnipesaukee, Meredith, New Hampshire. A bit of history: The land was purchased in 1901 by Colonel Charles Cummings, who was a 33-degree Mason. Purchased for a mere $3,000, the Colonel intended to leave the Spindle Point - 500 acre Farm to the New Hampshire Grand Lodge of Masons for a Masonic home, but the cost was far too excessive for the fraternity. The land was eventually sold to developers. This is not a lighthouse, but I tagged it as such because it resembles one so closely. Colonel Cummings built this observatory tower for his two daughters, who were aspiring artists. Leave it to me, an aspiring photographer, to take a bit of a daring shot like this one, as I walked across the lake.
