eyewall

A few additional shots I just went through from my trip (these are 10/9 and 10/10). My complete Fall 2022 gallery is here:

There is also a flood of remote workers to more desirable rural locations and that is also driving up prices I am sure.

Snowliage!

It feels like it did in VT here now. Nice to have real fall here as well. In the NC High Country winter has arrived with lows in the teens this morning and some light snow and rime.

Yeah they are a week behind on that one.

The pond with the boats is near the trout club in the Nebraska Valley. That area is strange as there is a public trail right next to their property which I have hiked before. I also had to make sure to take off from the public areas before the road to the actual club. I loved that spot because of the landscape itself and the fact you leave the crowds behind during foliage time. The fog shots are actually from a rest stop off I-84 on the way home where NJ, NY, and PA come together.

I appreciate that and thank you!

Here are the better shots from the trip in one gallery: https://jeremygilchrist.smugmug.com/Fall-Foliage-Adventure-2022/

That 2010 shot is amazing! I was not in VT for that one. Anyway here is my higher res gallery for the better foliage shots I got on my trip: https://jeremygilchrist.smugmug.com/Fall-Foliage-Adventure-2022/

I am still going through my photos from my trip but this was the Waterbury Reservoir in VT on 10/10:

I am back home but what a fun trip that was. I am still going through a lot of photos and will link to a high res gallery when ready. Anyway here are some from Isle La Motte or should I say Isle La Haunt.

This shot shows how vibrant it was at the Waterbury Reservoir even up close.

A few more:

The problem I always find is the camera dulls out what is actually seen in my opinion, especially if the white balance is too cold. Anyway there are some horrible max saturation photos on social media and yet they get thousands of likes.

Let me apologize if I am clogging up this thread too much. It looks like people need to get their viewing before heavy rain on Thursday. Anyway another interesting note is the saturation levels look different depending on which site I post on. I have been trying to make it pop but not well beyond the scope of reality. It really is incredibly brilliant out there in places. Facebook really blows it out on my computer and this site can enhance it at times even more. Either way you get the idea. It has been a great little trip.

It is definitely a blanket peak! Glad I got back up here to see it! I think the rain this Thursday will do it in.

Yeah it would have been fun to catch it up there when it happened. I love by the way how the tourist crowds largely skip the Nebraska Valley where I got some of my best aerials so far.

Powder does this count as snowliage from yesterday?

Vermont on 10/9/22

A aerials including more accurate color correction for Nebraska Notch and of course a Stowe shot for Powder. We got out early enough to not have to deal with as many of the peak crowds. One funny note is drones have become much more the norm since I started flying. I had my eyes on the wrong one for a moment and thought I was having a fly away. I was real nervous for a moment until I realized.

It was definitely worthwhile and I will have a few more to share as I go through them. Not sure how much more exploring time I will have with other activities planned while I am here but we shall see.

A few quick ones from today:

A quick cell grab from this morning for the gram: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjf3KTQrvMR/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

I am up here and hit a few spots already. Color is best just south of the actual notch. I also hit Nebraska notch and the Waterbury reservoir. I don't remember such a blanket peak in all the years I lived here.
