My daughter just came from Boston for Thanksgiving break, she was happy to see a few remaining colors we have here in NC. She said that in Massachusetts all leaves are gone and all trees are naked. Not like three weeks ago, when I took this photo, at that time everything was pretty much in full and gorgeous color.
One thing is missing in any visual art is the sense of smell. I love the smell of Autumn leaves, and when they are in such abundance, the intensity of it is so strong. I remember being at this park and inhaling the smells of it, feeling it with all of my senses, enjoying it. At least watching at this photo reminds about it, this is one of many reasons I take them, remind me of cool places I had a chance to visit.
For the next few days I’m going to try and post mostly Autumn photos. The Fall is almost over and I have yet to post anything with autumn colors. I’m not really sure how many I took this year, might have to go back to last year photos, I know I did take some nice photos last year and they are worth to bring back to the front page. Hopefully no one will get too tired of it.
Driving north on HW127, right before Endicott College, we saw a guy taking some photos into the forest. As I passed him I saw a little pond down below, some nice colors and the soft sun right on the trees. I had to stop, and thankfully there was one of the overflow parking lots for Endicott College just 200 meters or so from the spot. I had my 14-24 lens on the camera and from top of the HW it was too far away to take any photos. The guy was hand shooting and had a zoom lens, so he probably was OK. I went straight down the rocky slope to get close to the water. He saw me, said something to his wife and followed me down there as well. I guess I inspired him to get closer to the water as well. We chatted a bit, and immediately discovered that we both speak Russian. How funny is that. Anywhere I go I see bunch of Russians.
BTW, did you know that Endicott College is one of the most scenic colleges in America?
Last weekend we were in Boston area visiting my daughter, it was parents weekend. On Saturday we drove up from Boston along the coast and stopped at a few locations to enjoy the views and take some photos.
Couple hours before sunset we made our way to Manchester little harbor, I was going to take a few photos of the boats and use some rest facilities. Then we saw this up in the sky. Incredible array of rainbows. I have never seen so many rainbows and some pretty cool light effects in the sky. Nice show of illumination before the storm.
How many rainbows do you see?
It is getting chilly outside, in many places its even snowed, and most leaves are pretty much gone or about to. Another winter is just around the corner. There will be plenty of grey days in the next few months, just like one I had on that specific day. At least that beautiful yellow was something that pleased the eye and provided nice contrast with other naked trees and grey skies.
Anyone to guess where this place is? Even if you never been to this cool town, there are some clues…just saying…
