| This autumn color photo, of Lake Placid, was taken from the top of the
ski lift on White Face Mountain, in The Adirondacks, near Lake Placid, New
York. The image contrasts the green conifers and red deciduous trees in
the foreground; the yellow, orange, and green mountainside to the right;
the blue lake and the surrounding red of foliage; the mountains of the
High Peaks region; and the strong blue of the sky. In this image, the lake
is observed at a diagonal; usually the lake is observed straight on. |
