Fall colors?

[nikon50bigma]

hey everyone,
Anyone know of some good places around NYC that are good for autumn shooting? How about central park?
Or anywhere on Long Island good at this time, or too early in the season still?
Thanks!

i think weather.com usually has a map that depicts the maturity of the color of the foliage. If i am not mistaken, it'll also forecast the peak color periods for various regions.

Some trees in Central Park are changing, but the vast majority are still green. Should be great in a week or two.

I usually check out the reports on http://www.foliagenetwork.net

Hmm, that main airport (I think it is BDL?) in CT had a nice backdrop.
Would be nice to take a trip up there on of these days.

These were taken two weeks ago near Albany, in a very short while it will all be on the ground...

Of course, you will have to share Central Park with all those silly marathoners this weekend...

You have no idea how long it took me to take that third shot as it was along the run around the lake the week of the marathon!

looks like they're peaking out at Caldwell....
