Foggy Fall Foliage
Categories: autumn, Photography, Travel, Uncategorized, WeddingWe ended up in New Hampshire and Maine this weekend, in part to search for a wedding site and in part to get me my Fall Foliage Fix.
Friday was a very gray day and it threatened to rain most of the morning and afternoon.Castle in the Clouds was gorgeous, especially in the fog and mist. We drove up the winding road quite slowly. The Fop commented that I was driving more tentatively than he thought the road warranted. I explained that I was completely distracted by the gorgeous yellows and oranges and reds on the trees and was simply driving appropriately for my level of concentration, or lack thereof. If I hadn’t been driving, there would be many many photos of the ascent. At the top we met with the events coordinator and got the tour. It’s positively beautiful up there even (or perhaps especially) when the fog limits the visibility from the top. Unfortunately, it’s just too far out of the way for people who aren’t already in New England to be a viable site. We visited an inn earlier in the day that is much more convenient to major highways and Manchester Airport, not to mention accommodations. We’re still undecided, but we’ve thought about it and discussed it more now.
