Bama Fall Color Ride

[HankD]

This last weekend was probably some of the best riding of the entire year in N. Alabama. 75-80 degrees, clear, and the leaves are really starting to turn. Did a couple of Fall Color rides to check out the scenery.

Attached a couple of pics looking North from the top of Monte Sano Mountain in Huntsville, AL. I wish I would have brought a better camera with me besides my iPhone, because the pics don't do the view full justice. These views were only about 15 mins from my house and were some of the best of the trip. :yes:

After riding, I spent about 30 mins cleaning all the leaves out of my lower air scoops...but it was darned sure worth it! Next weekend looks like cooler weather (65 degrees), but clear....so planning to explore some more forest country.

Thanks for sharing the fall pictures. Our leaves are gone and three inches of snow fell this weekend. Pretty though. :yes:

The fall foliage colors are gone here as well. No snow yet!

The snow is on its way, by the end of the this week the temps in the 20's 30's during the day.

Thanks for the pictures!

I've given in to making scenery shots a somewhat low priority. Even with my Nikon D5300 it's hard to get a really good pic if there's any haze in the air, which there almost always is, even in Idaho mountains. I think you'd need to have a $3000 camera and a box full of filters to get really super scenery shots. In comparison it's unbelievable just how good phone cameras have become. I've found there are times the phone does better than my camera.

Beautiful colors and great shot by the way.

Here's one of my favorites from the Colorado Rockies last year on my way to Red Rock.
