OVERVIEW:
The best autumn variety in the United States. Classic images, history,
and brilliant reds, oranges and golds etcetera in Vermont and New
Hampshire. Photo classics, barns and much more. The
New England region is photogenic during most of the year, but when
autumn brings along brilliant oranges, fiery reds and a touch of
morning fog, this is the place to be. In addition to our
'foliage foray' will be studies of covered bridges, classic farm
scenes, and all that comes naturally with this rustic, historic,
lush, golden and pleasant rolling land. The trip takes in
what I consider as the 'essentials' of Vermont and New Hampshire
plus more besides . . . I hope you can join me this year.
FALL
COLOR NOTES
It's not possible to be at all the
prime spots during their peak color, but I have timed our trip
for the best possible combination. Those we 'miss' will still
yield striking images, as either the first color contrasts against
greens, or the last color is subtle set against the grays and
browns.
TRAVEL TO THE GATEWAY AIRPORT
o It is recommended that clients arrive a day early to be fresh for the trip, and to also counteract possible flight delays.
o Early arrival also enables you to explore the gateway city should you wish to do so.
o When booking flights, add a day for overnight travel or two days if also crossing the Pacific Ocean/International Dateline.
o The last day of the trip is the date you should arrange your flight home unless you plan to stay on. Thank you!

The
MONADNOCK region
From your early arrival into Manchester, New Hampshire, we will
go west to start our New England autumn sojourn in the area known
as the Monadnock region in New Hampshire. It is dominated by 3,165
foot Mount Monadnock, whose modest elevation makes for a striking
backdrop to the lower reaches. Covered bridges, picturesque
villages and Mount Monadnock at sunrise across Thorndike Pond will
be among our highlights here.

Following a sunrise shoot and breakfast, we'll take in the
remaining highlights of the Monadnock region this morning as we

Connecticut River into Vermont. Going north we'll take in Newfane,
Grafton and the Weathersfield Birches plus more as we journey on
to Woodstock for our two night stay.
On day 3 we'll start at sunrise at the famed Jenne Farm . . .
perhaps the most photographed farm on the planet! In the region
are other New England classics, and among those photo priorities
will be the Quechee Gorge, and Sleepy Hollow Farm etcetera.

Kingdom'.
