These are from this past weekend. To my surprise, there was already some snow in the upper range of mountains, with sprinkles, flurries, and cold weather, all of which made hiking around a bit tricky. Fall color was at its full, or slightly passed the full. Regardless, I love this area.

#3 and #4 are outstanding images. Well done! Being on the West coast, I'm not familiar with this area and am glad you introduced it to me. Thanks!
Thank you for the comment. I myself am not familiar with west coast terrain, but from what I see from many beautiful posts here, mountains on the east coast have trees covering with less rock exposed surface and jagged pointy rock summit. I was told the difference of the age of the mountains play a role. I have been too lazy to look into it. May be one of these days,

Very beautiful, especially the 4th image! The fall colors are stunning!

Thank you very much for the comment. I was a bit challenged and struggled make a decent compostion. In the end, I decided to on portrait position to capture the verticality and how the falls are revealed and sort of wrapped around by foliage.

Luka, beautiful location and #4 is just awesome 👏
Thank you for your encouraging comment. I was a bit unsure whether to include the #4 because of portrait position and screen viewing might be frustrating. I am glad I decided to include the shot. White Mountains NF gets very busy all year but especially around this time for the foliage. I do hope to go back many more to find more beauty I did not know existed there.

First, interesting work, especially with the subjects that include water.
As a person who IS familiar with photographing on the West Coast (including fall color in the Sierra and elsewhere) and who just returned days ago from photographing for the first time the same areas you went to... I've been thinking a lot about what is different and what is similar about photography in these two areas.
Your point about trees covering the views in the East is right on. Out here in the west we are used to being able to access big, open views of the landscape in almost any location. We actually have to work to seek out the closed-in, tree-filled compositions. So for me, it was a bit of a challenge to be mostly unable to see the long views in New England, at least in ways that gave access to the compositions that would work out West.
It was a wonderful challenge, and I enjoyed it a great deal. We hit the color peak (literally the day it happened) in the mountains between Lincoln and Conway, NH.

Thank you for your comments. It is good to find out that you also think the east coast views are different. It is not often that you reach a summit and find out there is little to no views. That is when apps like All Trails become very handy. I think that blunt top of mountains around here are showing the age of mountains, which can lead to tree covering all mountains. I love the four seasons we ge here on the North East coast, but I do get a bit jealous when I see photos of huge open land with pointed mountains.
