\nHere I am; sitting in LAX on a 8 hour layover headed back to Kauai.\u00a0 It’s here that for the first time since my photographic adventures over a week ago that I get to look over images from the trip.\u00a0 And in somewhat of an unusual turn I actually started at the beginning \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Late September I found myself in the incredible little mountain town of Lake Placid, NY.\u00a0 A place that I visited fairly frequently as a kid and college ‘adult’ however it had been nearly 10 years since I had returned.\u00a0 Even more to the fact that I can never remember seeing fall color up there.\u00a0 Well…I was in for a treat.\u00a0 New England and the high peaks range are home to some of the most spectacular color displays in the US.\u00a0 Now, with only 4 days to shoot and a bit of memory loss from my childhood it was time to do some research.\u00a0 Which, on the first sunset of my session lead me to Mt. Jo.\u00a0 A relatively easy hike (about 1 mile with some decent elevation gain), it offers great bang-for-the-buck with views to some of the highest peaks in the Northeast.\u00a0 And this time of year…fields of color as far as the eye can see.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42
\n 
\nArriving at the trailhead I aimed to get myself up to the top around 45min or so before sunset.\u00a0 Given that there were NO clouds i wasnt in much of a hurry as without them the sky is remarkably boring.\u00a0 But up we go.\u00a0\u00a0 Making good time, about 20 min to the top, I was glad I brought layers.\u00a0 Not quite the same temperature as Kauai in September!\u00a0 A few other photographers were scattered about taking in the afternoon light while I bounced around the rock figuring out what I would do.\u00a0 Now, my normal train of thought is that if there are no clouds…shoot stars.\u00a0 So the plan was to wait until dark and then hike down with my headlamp (ALWAYS carry at least one in your bag).
\n 
\nAs darkness fell the other people disappeared as well.\u00a0 Until it was just me.\u00a0 Much more of what I am used to when photographing \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Of course being alone in the dark in the woods lets the mind wander…and I try my best to not be a wuss…but it’s bound to happen.\u00a0 :p\u00a0 Staying warm, 3 layers plus hat plus gloves, etc, sunset faded to twilight which gave way to the heavens above, and my goal for the evening.\u00a0 To my incredible surprise as it got darker I noticed a familiar streak across the sky.\u00a0 My old friend the Milky Way!\u00a0 No way.\u00a0 Directly in front of me right over the peak I was photographing.\u00a0 Well…wasnt going to let this go to waste.\u00a0 Managed to capture a few images as the light balanced out.\u00a0 Back down to the car in about 25 min with that feeling of ‘I hope I didnt screw that up’ it was a great way to start my week.
\n 
\nNow sitting in LAX…finally getting to review images I can say that am quite happy I was able to pull off something ‘on the fly’.\u00a0 More to share from the week and my apologies for the small size.\u00a0 The full resolution has some stunning detail \ud83d\ude42
\n 
\nMuch thanks and enjoy!
