Oktoberfest 2013

Very pretty!

A better view of the festivities below. The line across the picture is the arm-size cable hauling our gondola to the summit.

This guy was awesome.
Trails

Facing north, a good view of the ski trails connecting the two mountains.

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

Outside

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

Inside another building, some sort of workshop.
Machine Shop Roof

Outdoor view of the first building, the roof on this side is nearly rotted through. Most of the buildings were built with cinderblock walls, metal trusses, and wooden roofing.
Bathroom and Sink

Likely decimated by vandals.
Exit (Entrance)

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!
