Jeff Newcomer had been a physician practicing in New Hampshire and Vermont for over 30 years. Over that time, as a member of the Conservation Commission in his home of Chesterfield New Hampshire, he has used his photography to promote the protection and appreciation of the town's wild lands. In recent years he has been transitioning his focus from medicine to photography, writing and teaching. Jeff enjoys photographing throughout New England, but has concentrated on the Monadnock Region and southern Vermont and has had a long term artistic relationship with Mount Monadnock. He is a featured artist in a number of local galleries and his work is often seen in regional print, web publications and in business installations throughout the country. For years Jeff has published a calendar celebrating the beauty of The New England country-side in all seasons. All of the proceeds from his New England Reflections Calendar have gone to support the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program at the Cheshire Medical Center. Jeff has a strong commitment to sharing his excitement about the special beauty of our region and publishes a blog about photography in New England.

Ashuelot River Park, Photo Album






This week my article for the New England Photography Guild celebrated Keene, New Hampshire's beautiful Ashuelot River Park.  The park is a lovely 157 acre natural oasis in the center of  Keene featuring wonderful open spaces and lovingly maintained gardens.  Radiating from the main garden are trails which wind along the Ashuelot River and into its wildlife rich wet lands.  For more detail check out my article on the New England Photography Guild Blog.

As before, I am using my personal blog this week as an album of additional pictures of the park.  Check them out and come visit  in any season. It is easily accessible. Heading west from Keene's Central Square along West Street it is across from the Colony Mill.

Park Gardens and open spaces are home to strolling, Picnics and even Yoga Classes.  The gardens are maintained by the city and a dedicated group of volunteers.

The Jonathan Daniels trail heads north from the gardens following the Ashuelot River . 
The trail honors Jonathan Myrick Daniels, a native of Keene who, at the age of 26, was, killed for his work in the American civil rights movement. The trail runs close to the river for a the round trip distance of 1.75 miles.
