When I looked at the site Sharon selected for the Joyful Meditations challenge, I was not only inspired by an album cover showing a beautiful autumn scene, but also by the soothing music. Fall in the Adirondack Mtns. of New York came to mind, and especially our visit to Lake Placid several years ago, where we saw the magnificent Ski Jumping complex, one of the sites of the 1980 Olympics.
Journaling: "Right side: “We didn’t get to the Mt. Van Hoevenberg Olympic Bobsled Run because it was raining and cold, but the guys did get to have their pictures taken in a bobsled on display at the Jumping Complex (#1, 7). I have been there before, though, having gotten a tour while my sister, Lisa, was working for the 1980’s Winter Olympics Committee in Lake Placid. #3,4,6,11,12: Different views of the jumps show just how tall they are.
Lower right journaling: # 8,9: An added bonus was that there were some “hot dog” skiers training and we were able to watch them on smaller jumps (they landed in water!) #5: There were also a few ski jumpers practicing on the big jumps. They all wore wetsuits.”
