#1 Two women looking to the west of the village of Stowe to Mount Mansfield, Stowe, Vermont, 1927.
High on a grassy slope above the village of Stowe, two women pause on a lichen-speckled boulder and turn their attention toward Mount Mansfield. The long ridgeline sits dark against a sky crowded with summer clouds, while the valley below opens into fields, scattered trees, and a patchwork of farm life. Even without movement, the…
