Loading my camera into the truck with the understanding that I was supposed to come back with visuals of New Hampshire that would represent what the state has to offer, there really is only one place to start. Three hours later, I arrived at Franconia Notch.
I was incredibly lucky that blue sky is what I found because so many times in the past shooting up in that area it is either raining or cloud covered. Yes, the Old Man Of The Mountain is missing but everything else has remained the same. There is a postcard wherever you turn which is why so many photographer’s travel for miles to capture what is truly the landmark of New Hampshire. The great thing about Franconia Notch is that it looks different in all four seasons but one thing that never changes, it’s always beautiful.
As the mountain range continued to fade in my rear view mirror and the sun slowly changing its color from white to golden-yellow, I passed the town line of Canterbury New Hampshire. There are many towns sprinkled throughout New England that could be on the cover of a calender and one of those choices for me, would be Canterbury. This is an area that has truly stood the test of time. Farms, white steeple churches, country roads and everything else you would expect out of what draws tourists to New England every year. Again, a photographer’s paradise and well worth the extra miles.
The state of New Hampshire has so many great places to visit but there is only so many hours in the day. The light determines what is captured and what is left for another time and with the sun disappearing below the tree line, this shooting day unfortunately is over.
