Liqueur Chartreuse

Formulated in 1605 and distilled by Carthusian monks since 1737 in their Chartreuse Mountains monastery near Grenoble, France, the liqueur comes in yellow and green versions. In spring Mother Nature pays homage to the monks and impressionist painter Claude Monet by painting vast stretches of Carolina meadows with splashes of exhilarating chartreuse.

Liqueur Chartreuse

Wellspring Of Lore

Near Siler City North Carolina, where the eastern edges of the Piedmont Plateau slide into the Atlantic Coastal Plain, stands a testament to rugged individualism. It stirs American frontier lore from timeless slumber. Old homesteads are a wellspring of insight into days of yore. One such cabin with well fires my imagination. Camera in hand I spirit away this moment in time.
