Say Mahopac, gorgeous shot. Where's that at?

Man, I wish we actually had a fall here in SoCal.

My favourite part of the world in autumn is the Jura region of France, just before you get to Switzerland. I won't have time to get over there this year..

Technical note: Photos 1 & 2 are on a Hasselblad with film and 3 and 4 were done on a D200 with the Nikon 18-200. Having a sturdy tripod is a big help

The second to last one there is a real beauty, Charles. I need to make a trip to France.

With my bike, of course

The third and fourth images were done in the Gorges de l'Herrisson. A description is here:

I usually start at the car park at the top end near Doucier. To start with it's meadows and you're not very aware of the river but after a while the footpath and river join is a fairly narrow gorge with a succession of views.

Then all of a sudden the river drops over a waterfall 180 feet high and pick your way down a narrow, slippery set of steps till you get back on even ground.

The best time to do pictures (in Autumn) is in the second half of the afternoon, when the sun comes round and lights the gorges. In winter - you need shoes with ice studs, it's really hairy.
