I flew to Maine last week for my grandfather's funeral, and I had a few chances to shoot the fall foliage. Above is a panorama of Stump Pond in Lincoln, about an hour from my hometown. I've been there before.

I was raised on the end of a peninsula on the lake, which offered sunset views. This one featured a couple of loons.
