Oktoberfest 2013

Summit

A short distance from the gondola drop-off, the peak of Little Whiteface.
Cloudsplitter Gondola

The quickest way to the top of Little Whiteface!
Locking horns
Yodeler Show

Inside the Whiteface Lodge, the Yodelers teamed up with a traditional German band, DSB die Schlauberger.
Olympic Bobsled Runs

Another long distance shot at about 8 miles, the Olympic Bobsled run at Mt. Van Hoevenberg.

Every October, the ski resort at Whiteface Mountain has a small Oktoberfest. Traditional German music, food, beer, and demonstrations are featured, and many local vendors come to show off their homemade crafts.

This is the first time I've gone in many years, and the first time I went being older than 21! It's a ton of fun and is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area during the skiing offseason.

RIT Center for Multidisciplinary Studies Website

The CMS Website was created for RIT's Center for Multidisciplenary Studies, and was graphically designed by Dumbwaiter Design and developed by myself. It's based on Drupal to allow the CMS staff to easily create and post content to the website.

Exploring Benson Mines

No Entrance

Back door to the machine shop.
Another office.

Some sort of office area, completely rotted out.
Overgrown

Tree blocking a doorway.
Exit (Entrance)
Outside

The office/bathroom is inside this building, and the first building in the album is visible through the trees in the background.

Benson Mines is a long-abandoned iron mine near Watertown, NY. The mine was shut down in 1978 and the buildings and have been completely abandoned ever since. Abandoned man-made structures are my favorite to take pictures of, so I couldn't resist exploring!
