Acadia NP

When I was younger I used to love going to Acadia NP in October. It is a wonderful place to photograph , so beautiful and easy access to most areas . In a week you could come home with enough photographs to keep you busy for months.

this year for the first time in 9 years I visited and was shocked . it has turned in to a madhouse with so many people . crowded everywhere . You will find that your waiting in line for everything. waiting to go to breakfast after 10 am and your still standing in line outside.

the one good thing , it is still one of the best fall foliage places to visit in the east. just plan at least a week there should you want to see most everything you would like too.

Something Different

Is 64 a number or an attitude ? 

On a Clear Day

It's amazing how clear things can be once you throw everything out of focus.

Hudson River Morning Walk.

It may empty into the Atlantic ocean but it starts way up at Lake tear in the clouds.With breathtaking views along the whole length.

Just a short distance from each other but enough to keep one busy photographing for days and days.

The Adirondacks is the largest publicly protected area in the contiguous US , covering 6 million acres in northern New York. --- bigger than Yosemite , Yellowstone , Glacier , Grand Canyon and the Great Smoky Mountains combined. 

It is not a place you go for a week and can expect to see everything. each year I usually pick a different location to set up headquarters and work from there . after all these years I've seen a lot of it but haven't seen a lot more.

From Malone to Amsterdam this is one of the prettiest drives in the country.

Tracking the Color

I would rather sit on a pumpkin , and have it all to myself , than be crowded on a velvet cushion.

This has always been my favorite time of year and most active , maybe it is because I was born in the Autumn and it just feel like new on it's arrival.

So it's time to track the color from the Adirondacks , Vermont , New Hampshire , Maine down to Manhattan , west New York with a pitstop in the Catskills and back home for a rest before checking the local area.
