The Seasons

The Seasons
Taken at a view point half-way up Mount Washington Auto Road in New Hampshire.

Mount Washington is the highest peak in Northeastern United States and on a clear day provides a view of the Boston City (~100 miles south) and the sunrise in the Atlantic is supposed to be an amazing view (though we couldn't see it!). This place also holds the record for the highest gust wind recorded on the earth's surface - at 231 mph (372 km/h) on the afternoon of April 12, 1934. But on a any given day, you can feel the wind gusting anywhere between 50 - 70 mph.

Given the notoriously erratic and unpredictable the weather up there, we couldn't make it to the top of the summit on that day. It was 15F (-9.5C) at 11AM in the morning and the wind chill making it 5F (-15C)

The photo of the seasons with the snow covered peak on the left side, the fall foliage in the valley and the clear bright sky was shot using a Nikon D50 with the standard Nikkor 18-55 lens.

New Hampshire is well known for its fall foliage & I was lucky enough to get some amazing pictures. And all the more happy about the decision to shoot RAW - after seeing the processed pictures.

The Capitol

The Capitol at the Capitol hill, on a cloudy noon, after a morning shower. I was travelling on business and the view of the Capitol from the conference room was captivating!
