There was a riot of color in Catoctin Mountain Park today!

Well that was picturesque.
It is great when you can have the whole road to yourself.
Took a similar run thru the countryside the other morning.
If I had a camera you would have noticed a few dead deer along the side of the road.
Be careful out there.

Loved seeing the colors of fall, but you drove to fast to appreciate. I live S Florida, no color, just sun all year round.

I drove at or below the speed limit to enjoy the scenery and to avoid hounding (and recording footage of) other vehicles. I then uploaded the video at 4x speed to avoid boring the viewer! This one demonstrates the difference between 1x and 4x:



Here is another one (Michaux Forest in PA) that would have been nearly twenty minutes long at 1x:

The normal speed is far more enjoyable to watch than the 4x speed.

The version I found most enjoyable was the short real speed segment featuring the sound of the car verses the song.

We all have opinions obviously, and a posting like this will be cause for many responses. The scenery was gorgeous, especially at normal speed...

The version I found most enjoyable was the live view from behind the wheel.

I don't like songs that replace vehicle soundtracks, but there is no audio at 4x.

I hope the videos at least inspire folks to get out there and enjoy this time of year.

It doesn't take long for the foliage to go from this:
