Green Fall, originally uploaded by jasonrr.

A walk through the trails at Breakneck in Cold Spring yielded this shot. I have to give props to my 18-200mm Nikon VR lens. The vibration reduction made taking the long exposure pretty trivial. A little bit of post-processing gave it some extra dimension.

Hiking those trails is always a pleasure. Anyone that travels to the area should make the effort to see them.

The lighting along the Gorge Trail was just awesome. Nature literally conspired with me to allow for some cool photos. I love how the light here falls on the lower falls, giving your eye a place to go. The rock formations along the gorge were also really cool, and you can get a glimpse of them here.

Jillian and I hiked a very familiar trail today in an effort to get us back into shape for the hiking season. This particular shot was taken along the Red trail on the Cold Spring side of Breakneck ridge. I can’t wait until school is over so that we can take some extended hikes through this area.
