Leaf Peeping in New England (4)
[Leaf peeping is an informal term in the United States and Canada for the activity in which people travel to view and photograph the fall foliage in areas where leaves change colours in autumn, particularly in northern New England]
When I was teaching it meant holidays could only be taken during the school holidays when it was more expensive and busy. And I couldn’t tag on to the OH’s conferences either. Which is why during one October half term we decided to do a fly drive holiday to the eastern side of the USA and do a spot of leaf peeping.
This post is simply to show you the variety of autumn colours we were lucky to see on our drives around the White Mountain National Park. We stopped a lot! And one thing about American highways is that they provide a lot of stopping places as well as rest areas. So often in this country (UK) you see an amazing view from the car, but find there is no place to pull over safely.
Railway lines in the US fascinate me – especially the iron bridges over a river like this one. (Fourth Iron Campground over the Sawyer River on the US-302)
