10/16/09 - Old Rag Fire Road

Shenandoah National Park. This is pretty and as good as the colors get in the Blue Ridge mountains. Lots of yellows and browns with lesser amounts of red & orange. A different color palette from New England. Today was dense fog (clouds actually) and temps in the mid-30's which is unseasonably cold. Possibility of snow up here tomorrow night. I'd like that as I'm a park volunteer photographer and I (and the park) don't have many snow images (the fact that the park closes when there's snow on Skyline Drive might help explain that - tough to make images when the park is closed. I'm working a deal that will get me in when it's closed.).

Nikon D300
1/8s f/18.0 at 32.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
