"Incandescent" Bradford Bog

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Prepare to be blown away by this stunning aerial view of New England's Fall colors, compliments of contributor and pilot PeterBloch. It was filmed at Bradford Bog, New Hampshire, in the west-central part of the Granite State. It's part of a large system of wetlands throughout rural New England which provide vital sanctuary for birds and other species and also make for some of the finest day hiking trips around. This was filmed in late September, as the area approaches its peak colors in early October.

A collection of early morning and late afternoon shots from Bradford Bog. The radiants swamp maples were backlit by intense sunlight, it makes the leaves radiate these warm colors so brightly that it almost seems surreal or artificial. But those really ARE the colors I saw - if anything I dialed back the saturation a bit. Bradford Bog straddles the border between East Washington and Bradford NH. The land is owned by the New England Wild Flower Society, protected by a conservation easement held by the Ausbon Sargent Land Preservation Trust, and managed by the Bradford Conservation Commission. There is a lovely boardwalk trail that leads you out to an observation tower, this is worth checking out. But like almost all marshes and bogs, you can only barely glimpse the edges of the land from ground level. The drone affords us the unique opportunity to see this the way the birds do, it is so remarkable and transcendent! The music is by "Sun on a Dolphin's Sea" by Todd Bauchpies.
