Monte Sano

I've been trying to get better at photography. I took some pictures of the snow in DC last year, and I thought they were decent enough. Lately, I've been going up on the mountain to try to get pictures of the tree leaves changing colors. That's the best part of fall. When the timing's right, a drive from Huntsville to Cullman on 65S yields some of the prettiest foliage.

Here's what I got today. They're not fabulous, because the trees are not cooperating yet.


I liked the height on this one. Still, pretty generic.


When I get better, you'll be able to see that there's a view behind these trees. Well, I'll get better, or the leaves will fall off.


I like the marking on these stones. The wall leads down to an open-air theatre. Pretty cool for climbing, or if you're a chicken like me, for watching kids climb.


I like the angle of the tree on the right. I was also trying to show, again, the height of the trees.


This one reminds me of an opening shot from Tales From The Darkside.


This was the only tree even trying to cooperate with my attempts to find color.


Since the tree wasn't playing along, I made it do so. Thanks, Photoshop!
