    I would consider that "impossible camera angle" as a two-image vertical pano. I've done this myself. My first day in Rome last October, I drove from the airport to a nature area nearby and used that technique (handheld!) on an image of a road and farmhouse.
    Love the mushroom shot! Amanda has a good eye.

    If nothing else, there's always the waterfalls to photograph. The mushroom shots are definitely wall worthy. You should always bring Amanda. She can spot a shot like a pig can find a truffle. Finding peak color in the Fall is more of an art than a science. But, when it's just right, magnifico. The import fees are a killer from Canada.

I don't remember many images of yours that might be considered macro, but I'm quite the fan of the two you showed us here. The waterfall shots were beautiful too. Maybe you can get Andrew at the garage to call you and Brent next year at the peak of color! How you guys kept straight faces for some of those gags is beyond me. Happy trails.

Don't ever drive on the Capital Beltway in Maryland. You may have a heart attack. Glad you made it to Wild Wonderful West Virginia. Seneca Rocks is spectacular. As I said before we didn't get the color this year. We had a drought during the summer and when the leaves starting turning we got a cold snap. That didn't help. Due to elevation West Virginia peaks early for fall color. It's quite possible to see snow in October there. I love WV. You did get some beautiful shots. Thanks for sharing your trip with us!
