Newark Pond is located just east of the southern tip of Lake Willoughby, and like seemingly everywhere in the Northeast Kingdom in 2012, had a banner year for foliage. This image, taken right from the aptly-named Newark Pond Road looking south, shows trees in full bloom, a few cottages, and mid-morning light sparkling on the water. Above the pond you can see the clouds that would very shortly move in and hide the sun for the rest of the day -- a pattern that repeated far too frequently on this trip.
