Hello everybody!

No ship today ! In fact I propose you a pre-Trek Lens era photo. This one was taken, on a cloudy autumn day back in 2004. Martine bought recently her new car, so we went for a drive to enjoy the autumn scenery South of the border in Vermont. We went down to visit the village of Peacham.The village is located near Saint-Johnsbury. The region was the theater of a nice movie, we have enjoyed so much. The title was The Spitfire Grill (1996).In the movie the action was in Gilead, Maine.

Now why this shot on this special day? Well I would just like to to express my gratitude to all Trek members who supported me since I joined the group. I joined without much expectations, as I joined Webshots.com a few years back. I ended up with a new addiction.

Along the road, I have received tips and critiques from so many friendly people. Their support and encouragements helped me in improving my skills. I still have a lot to learn.
I do not have as much time as I would like to learn faster, and share more with my fellow members. But I will do my best to continue to contribute to this great site. As you know I have met a few members so far. In 2006 , I am looking forward meeting more friends. We are now even planning our vacations thinking of meeting you guys!

In the meantime , I just want to express my gratitude to all for your help and friendship to make this beautiful journey in the world of photography so enjoyable.

Sincerely,

Robert

The scene would make a most romantic drive out in the country. Beautiful colours, and well captured.

Belle image, Robert, pour célébrer cette étape! Une composition classique, mais bien rendue par la belle palette de couleurs. Longue vie sur TL!

Une photo classique d'automne mais très bien réussi et une belle addition à ta gallerie, Robert. Belles couleurs et belle composition qui donnent envie d'aller se promener sur les routes du Vermont. Félicitation pour cette 300th. Bravo!

Hi Robert,

Congratulations on your 300th! Spring and autumn colours together. Beautiful!

Can't wait for the next 300. I bet you'll have them posted up here before we know it :) Well done my friend.

John

Congrats and thank you Robert, you treated us with a real beauty here, Magda, (*_*)

Spectacular colors, great composition and wonderfully crisp and clean. TFS,
Congrats on the 300th!
Hugzzz,
Fran

That's veeeery different, Rob!
And veeeeery nice, I must say...!
You should have posted earlier. It's so colourful and sharp, that I can almost smell the nature, the trees. :)
Very good contrast and POV. Incredible DOF, as I can clearly see the leaves and trees on the background. Nice frame.
Well done, my friend!
Constantinos

Hi Robert

Wonderful autumn colors of gold & orange. I like the color contrast, between the blue / grey road, & orange leaves. Good work!

The long and windy road in stunning autumn colors! Well done and many more lovely pics from you!

Such a beauty, Robert! Congratulations on finding a good site and sticking with it for 300 photos. Look forward to seeing many more from you.

This is a beautiful scene - what is it about roads and the idea that we can't see where they lead? It's a metaphor that resonates in all of us.

Happy Sunday,
Gayle :)

Hi Robert,

300th!!! Holy Cow, congrats.

Beautiful capture and well done on the composition.
I think boosting saturations is not needed.

Donna :o)

Hello Robert! Wonderful autumn rust colours! Nice point of view and nice frame, too! Perfect picture! Well done! Lili

Hi Robert

I know this is a little late, but congrats on your 300th post. You have chosen a beautiful shot to celebrate this milestone. The autumn colours are absolutely stunning. This is a well composed shot. I like the way the road carries your eyes over the crest.

Hello Robert,

Further to your comment on one of my few shots, I was curious to see what you were doing, and I browsed some of your galleries.

I have seen many photos from you, and that one if one of my favorites. It reminds me of the fabulous colours of the fall in this region and the legendary light of New England. I spent one year studying in Boston. I did rent a car a couple times to travel along the north coast of New England and back through the land.

The choice of the frame is perfect to enhance the magic of the picture.

I end up wondering where you could find so much light under so many trees !
