Through my lens: THE ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS, trip 2

The high peaks region of the adirondack mountains has quickly risen up my list of favorite places to shoot.  For those of you that know me, the coast of California has always been my go to spot, but this vast wilderness in upstate NY gives me a similar feeling.  Enjoy these images of my second autumn trip to Lake Placid, there is something magical in those hills.

Just before first light the fog rolled in and let us not only feel the wind but see it as well.

I got to share this beautiful scene with a few close friends... Fall colors blooming in the valley over Whiteface Mountain.

These guys always have the best views
