"It can't snow until the creeks are full.", is a old saying in the North East. There was a lot of rain today, helping to fill the creeks.
The last of the leaves are a brilliant yellow color, and they are falling quickly. They produced a carpet of leaves on the hiking trails that follow the gorges.
Lessons Learned:
- The circular polarizer works well on cloudy days as well. It helps to bring out the colors of the leaves.

Gosh, that's pretty. And you're in Ithaca! I have another blogger friend in Ithaca. We lived there 22 years ago, on a visiting faculty appointment - my son was born there. We lived right at the bottom of one of the gorges, in a big yellow Victorian house.
Your picture is so evocative!
Paths make for a nice composition.
This is a pretty scene. I am surprised it turned out so well if you had to use 1600 ISO. I always get too much color noise or have. Maybe the difference is the filter.
Hey, I know G!
Gorgeous pic Stevo, and I just posted about you again.
Thank you.
Abe,
I agree with what you said about the 1600 ISO. I didn't have my tripod with me, and the filter makes the photo darker. I had to push it to 1600 in order to be able to use that type of f-stop and shutter speed without the tripod.
I brought my tripod to work with me today, so I may get a few shots at a better ISO.
I love your nature pictures. Yes I do have a filter on my lens. I never take it off.
Very nice...peaceful image.
I would like to walk down that peaceful lane and hear the leaves crunch under my shoes.

That carpet just makes the shot...it adds such a spirit of the season to the scene. I really enjoy how you take us through the process you followed in setting up the shot. I've been in situations like this, too - low light, covered/shadowed scene - and pushing my ISO is always such a Hobson's Choice. You make it look easy...
