Some Northern New England Photos
 

Well sort of. I went away on vacation to NH, VT and central MA from Oct 26-30. I did not get as many photos as I would have liked to. All the places to photograph were right on the highway and we could not stop. The highlight of my trip was the stop in Keene, NH. It was a cute little town and I was able to discover something new to me in the area: Covered Bridges. There were 5 of them in like a 10-mile area maybe less then that but they were not too far from each other. It was exciting to follow the map and find the different covered bridges. Of course I went to photograph them on a cloudy day and they look rather dull.
Another highlight was the fact that the hotel in Keene had a computer in the lobby with free internet access that I could use anytime. Needless to say I checked in on The Ledge. Needless to say my friend was not too happy. Then I had to explain to her what The Ledge was. Not fun!

OK here are some:

Gorgeous photos, Pattie!!
 

I love the church one, that is so pretty!

Your pictures are so pretty. I really like the one with the pumpkins. :)

My family used to visit Keene, NH when I was a little girl! Gorgeous pictures- I love New England.

I had to resize the photos because it made my AOL crash.:(

Sorry for any confusion or problems that it might have caused.

Thanks guys! There was another highlight to my trip but I haven't edited those photos yet.
I will post those in another thread later.

luvin' them bridges, thanx so much for sharing!!!~

This reminds me of Beetlejuice!

I always love when you share your photos. Thanks Pattie! :)

Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing.

We have lots of covered bridges here in the western part of our state. Every year, we have a Covered Bridge Festival. There's lots of booths and what not set up with crafts to sell. Anyhow, you can take driving tours of the bridges, and I absolutely love them.

Yup. There was one in my college town....You had to drive through it just to get downtown. It's one of the only covered bridges that is still used for traffic in the US. It was weird seeing the bridge next to a NAPA. :laugh:

Beautiful pictures. I love and miss those fall colors...

Pattie, these are great. I try to get up there every year but this year was in FL and when I returned we had that horrific weather. Last year I went up on my own and got some pretty cool pics. It seems to always be cloudy though! There is a covered bridge called the Blair Bridge right off of I93 just before the Waterville Valley exit. I got some pics of that but they are in print form so I'll have to find them. Below is a pic of the Mt Washington Hotel I took in 2000.

Oh man. I LOVE the Mount Washington hotel. Its gorgeous. I'll try to find some pictures I took of it last year I like Lake Winnipausakee more, though.

Wow, I did not know there even was a Mt. Washington Hotel. I am kind of sorry that I know now. I am sure that I will never stay there. anyway :(

Well, me neither. But you can have a fabulous cocktail on the giant back porch with a view of the White Mountains. Maybe we can go on a photo jaunt next fall. It is an amazing place, it was restored I think just before I took that photo. They have this really nice chapel on the side porch too for weddings. That would be extremely romantic. The porch wraps around the whole back and one side of the hotel. For a special occassion it would be a great place to get away to.

Thanks. I am pretty sure that almost everyone will like the other ones that I took on my trip. I will post them either very late tonight or tomorrow.
I haven't taken many photos in the last month and I wasn't really into it lately. The weather here in the past month had a lot to do with that and a few other things that I have no control over. I am glad to hear that people are enjoying them.:)

Great pics! :thumbsup:

Fall in New England is incredible. Thank you for sharing these pictures!!

those are great!

Winter is just as good. When it snows and the branches on the trees freeze over? It looks so gorgeous that I could cry.
