The End is the Beginning is the End

For the last few weeks now I’ve been delaying the inevitable, going to great lengths to delay the onset of winter by spending most of my time in the desert pretending the days weren’t getting shorter.  It couldn’t last though, and I realised I was staring down the barrel of oncoming snow without much in the way of Fall / Autumn (delete as per your geographical location) shooting under my belt.

With that in mind, I headed off on a foliage-hunting mission to two separate locations in the last week, at two completely opposite ends of the continent.  First up was a few days on Vancouver Island, shooting a couple of local rippers there for a story that’s already up on NSMB.com:

Sniping Ken through the foliage

Layering up the greens

"Dangerous Curves" - a work of trail building art

After that, enjoyed a couple of days break then hopped a flight out to the East Coast of the ‘States, where my good friend Chris picked me up and drove us to her new home in New Hampshire, a place so mind-bogglingly beautiful at this time of year it’s hard to know where to start:

Chris is learning to DH and loving every moment

Leaves on the line

Yes, they really were this colour

Photo opportunities round every corner

With colours and light like this, who needs summer?
