My Favorite Place is White Mountains of New Hampshire

Growing up in the White Mountains of New Hampshire is a true blessing. The rural town that I have lived in for the past 19 years of my life, has shaped me into a fearless young man that I am today. There are many mountains to go hiking, skiing, or even sightseeing. Some of those attractions include; Mt. Lincoln, Mount Washington, or taking a drive over the scenic Kancamagus Highway. The town that I grew up in (Woodstock, NH) is a very quiet but special community that will always have an impact on my life because that's where a family of four loved each other no matter what the situation was. Rarely no criminal activity happens in this area, which makes this place close and special to me. I spend most of my free time camping and enjoying nature to the fullest extent. I did this almost every weekend with my brothers, when I was younger. Spending time with each other and going camping always brings our friendship closer together, every time we would see one another. We would always talk about life and our futures as a whole group, while sitting around a vibrant campfire. Those were always the two major topics, nothing else. Woodstock, New Hampshire will always be my favorite place on earth because it brought me laughter, friendship, and love. Those are the three things that I want in life and this place just brings it all together as one. There is no other place in the world I would call home. As I grow older each and every day, I'm not ready to let this place go, but before I go somewhere else in life, you will always a place in my heart.(Picture of Brandon Harrington taken on iPhone 8 on July 2nd, 2019)

    This looks like a great little town to grow up in. New Hampshire is such great state to live in. You are so lucky that you were able to live so close to so many scenic and fun places like skiing and hiking. These activities are so great. This town sounds like a very safe place to grow up and raise a family. That image of Woodstock NH looks amazing. Did you very do any fishing or canoeing in this area? Looks like it would be a great spot for that and a lot of fun. That's pictures with the White mountains looks incredible. I have always wanted to go to the white mountains and go hiking. I have also always wanted to hike Mt Washington. That would be such an experience. Really makes you step back and reflect on how you get to live in such a wonderful area. This reminds me of my town back home and how much it means to me. Even if I move away some day that place will always be special to me because that is where I grew up and made all my friends that I hope to stay close with in the future.

Application Assignment #1: This Land Is the Only Land There Is

Source of Article:  This Land Is the Only Land There Is Earth Warming The article " This Land Is the Only Land There is ," portrays the realization that we have a problem, we as a society need to seek change. We as humans living on this earth, don't understand that the planet's dangerously warm future is upon us. Robinson Meyer, explains that the earth's landscape has already warmed than 1.5 degrees Celsius since the industrial revolution. The land that we use on earth is extremely scarce, we need to use it for everything and we are already using most of it. Roughly more than 70 percent of the planet's ice free land is already shaped by human activity. There must be changes that happen quicker that you think because land problems have a pesky way of spreading diseases to different areas around the globe. How do we obtain land? First off, we as humans need land for planting and reusing the materials that need to be put back into the earth for growt...

Spend Some Time In Nature!

Elbow Pond: Woodstock, New Hampshire The place I went and explored for this blog post was at an Elbow Pond in Woodstock, NH. I went there with some of the few friends I graduated high school with because we enjoy coming here and spending time with nature, especially when I begins to snow. I would suggest this for people to come to but it is really difficult and dangerous to drive out to the actual pond itself. This is the outside of the pond, we couldn't go any further because the gate was closed for the winter season. In terms of animals, we saw a couple of deer tracks in the snow but not a lot of people because no one lives in these neck of the woods, unless you are risky enough to do so. I have been here some many times, I can't count them on my hand! I love coming here just to relax and enjoy the natural beauty our earth gives us. When we got there, we of course took many pictures of sun setting sky and after that we just talked about life and how we are all doing ...

What Makes me Happy!

What makes me happy? People ask my this question almost everyday of my life. I always say the same response; family, friends, and life. Seems kind of corny right? Well it's the truth. There is nothing more than being apart of a loving family. They all encourage me to try my best at anything I am doing whether it's sports or studying for my next exam. My friends on the other hand, have been there for me when I am at my worst points in life. Always there for me when I need a shoulder to cry on. They truly put a smile on my face whenever go camping, hanging out, or going on crazy adventures in the deep New Hampshire wilderness. Being able to live my life on this beautiful earth makes me feel happy, even on my darkest days. There are many tremendous places to visit on this earth, you just have to go out and experience this first hand. That's the real beauty about nature. Experiences, moments, and memories are key components to living in such a god giving land. My pictures have ...
