Autumn at Taylortown Reservoir

Autumn at Taylortown Reservoir
 
Montville, New Jersey
 
Driving the course of Boonton Avenue from downtown Boonton to its confluence in Butler with Kakeout Road is an easy and relaxing way to get to Route 23 in Morris County. I always like to admire the water and woods around Taylortown Reservoir while driving through.

Autumn at Great Bay

Autumn at Great Bay
 
Denville, New Jersey
 
I had to stand on a flimsy fallen tree to obtain this clear view of the lake. As Ansel Adams noted, “A good photograph is knowing where to stand.” Overcast skies also dictated adding an extra stop of light to the exposure to emphasize the foliage.

The blue blazed dune trail at Higbee Beach houses a lot of distinct withered trees. The trail also leads the way to a decent sized pond.

Long Bridge at Black Run

Long Bridge at Black Run
 
Black Run Preserve, Evesham, Burlington County NJ
 
Crossing this 10 foot stretch of “bridge” on a nature trail almost seemed like a good idea until I gauged the depth at nearly 4 feet with my tripod. Carrying 20 lbs of unwieldy photography gear in a backpack also convinced me that this trail was not for me.
