Through the Golden Haze
NCAR10D-512
November 7, 2010
Our last homage to autumn this morning, as the cold has made its presence known and there is no going back, at least for a couple months. The leaves are all gone, the grass is all brown, and Christmas music is pumping through Starbucks. Yup, winter is coming! This shot was taken last year as I hiked through Umstead State Park near Raleigh, right before Thanksgiving break. The leaves were in full color by this point, and it was a pleasant park to wander though. My only nit pick was the constant sounds of the airport (Umstead butts up against the RDU airport, so there are plenty of comings and goings during the day), but overall a good place to get away from the city for a spell. Enjoy!
