Happy New Year, everyone. A brand new year with new hopes and new planning and whatnot. This year I took it a bit slow and steady, not going overboard on anything.
Taking it slow does not always mean doing nothing, but rather doing something at your own pace. Also, in New England, winter has just begun, and we are limited in what we can do due to COVID-19. Keeping myself or the kids inside all the time is not a good idea, so we decided to go for a short outing. Then, Saville Dam came to mind. Nested in the quaint countryside of New Hartford, Saville Dam at Berkhamsted reservoir was built in 1940.
I had been to Saville Dam many times and experienced all the seasons except winter. Every season offers its unique beauty. Spring and summer offer crisp blue skies, sparkling water, and emerald green mountain backdrops, while autumn provides a vibrant color splash against the sweeping view of the mountains.
But visiting Saville Dam in winter is a solitary experience. Even though the mountains are barren in winter, the accentuated Christmas wreaths on the dam doors instantly provide a holiday feel. The best part is visiting during this time; you can escape the crowd and enjoy a moment of solitude. Strolling around, you would feel the serenity of this place. Make it a blissful bask or create wonderful memories by clicking some cherished pictures. Be sure to visit both sides, as they offer two totally different views.
breathtaking view!
