St. John's-on-the-Lake church at the high point of Bear Island on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire

We hike up to the island summit to see St. John's-on-the-Lake. The chapel is shut up tight for the winter -- little surprise there. With no bridge or ferry, it's pretty remote here. John says the chapel is built around what used to be a fire lookout tower.
