Featured in A Beautiful Blur October 25, 2008.
Featured in Falling Leaves October 23, 2008.
Winner of the “October 2008 Favorite Photo Challenge” in the *Autumn/Fall in the North-East USA group October 22, 2008.

This is the same road as shown in “A Golden Day” but taken in late afternoon as opposed to morning, and about a year later, October 12, 2008. This is also a bit earlier in the season than the previous scene, so the trees are much fuller.

I used the Nikon D40x with the 18-135 lens and the polarizing filter. Blue Knob mountain, Pennsylvania.

Obsidian Dawn
