Here’s a couple of drone videos showing the fall foliage here in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. Both videos were shot today, September 26, 2016. One was taken by a friend near Coles Pond in Walden, VT. The other one was taken in Island Pond, VT.
The cold weather arrived as forecast this past weekend. Yesterday we only managed a high of 52°. When you added in the wind it felt pretty cold compared to the temperatures we had been seeing here in the NEK. This morning the low was 30.5° here in Island Pond.
I did get a chance to fly the drone earlier and got a few photos of the current fall foliage conditions. I also got a little video footage to sort through in order to put together a video. When I get it uploaded to YouTube I post a link here.
