This October I spent several days in central Vermont, chasing peak fall color from before sunrise until the last light of the evening. The new Fall gallery comes from that trip, and here's a little about where each image was made.
Kent Pond, Killington
Kent Pond sits next to Gifford Woods State Park, with Killington and Pico rising behind it. I came back to it again and again, and it never looked the same twice: a skyfire sunrise, mist on still water, geese drifting across the reflections, and one gray, overcast day when the maples were the brightest thing on the landscape. My favorite part was simply enjoying the quiet sunrise there, sipping coffee while the light came up over the water.
Echo Lake and Amherst Lake, Plymouth
Along Route 100 near Plymouth, I photographed sunrise at Echo Lake and at neighboring Amherst Lake. When the water is calm, the hillsides reflect almost perfectly and the whole scene doubles.
Taftsville Covered Bridge, Woodstock
Built in 1836, the Taftsville Covered Bridge spans the Ottauquechee River just outside Woodstock and is one of the oldest covered bridges in Vermont. Wrapped in fall color, it's about as classic a New England scene as you can find.
From Above
I also put the drone up to see the season from overhead. From above, the ridges of red, orange and gold look like a patchwork quilt, as you can see in Jewel Reservoir from Above.
Bring Vermont Home
Every image in the Fall gallery is available as a ready-to-hang fine art print, made to order by Bay Photo Lab. If you'd like a size or finish you don't see, contact me and I'll set up a custom order.
