Description

This drone's view of Smugglers' Notch Road captures the raw beauty of a Vermont autumn transitioning into winter. The road winds gracefully through the mountainous landscape, known for its steep cliffs and hairpin turns, as trees adorned in vibrant fall foliage create a fiery display of oranges, yellows, and reds. The overcast skies are just beginning to part, allowing a soft glow of sunlight to peek through, but not before leaving a light coating of snow on the treetops. This unique moment, known as snowliage, showcases a striking blend of two seasons—autumn and winter—melding together. The juxtaposition of snow-dusted branches and colorful leaves highlights nature's fleeting beauty, offering a sense of tranquility amidst the cool, crisp air.
