Fall Colors around Killington Peak. This picture taken on October 3, 2005 at approx 5:45PM

Cool evening temperatures are starting to heighten the colors on the trees around Killington Peak. The apocalyptic wind storm we had on Thursday September 28 removed some of the leaves from the trees that had turned early, stripping out many of the yellows contributed by birch and poplars. But the maple and oak leaves held fast and are just now turning vivid red and orange. The picture for this entry was taken late Monday afternoon, October 3rd, at approximately 5:45 PM. The sun had set behind Pico, which is to the right of Killington outside of the frame of the picture. The top of Killington peak was still has bathed in bright sun, but the rest of the area had gone to shadow forcing a low light setting on the camera.
