Broad Vistas

One of the things that I love about driving to Cambridge from the west is the frequent vistas I see from the winding hilltops --- magnificent vistas of the Green Mountains and the Berkshire Mountains to the east. And the road follows a route through beautiful, hilly farm fields, such as this one with grazing horses. The views of the mountains to the east from the hilltops make it seem as though I am viewing across wide distances, under a canopy of sky. And yet Cambridge is really quite close to Vermont and and the Berkshires in western Massachusetts. It's a great central point for traveling to Tanglewood, the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Albany, and quite a few other interesting destinations.
