Lake George, New York State

I visited Lake George in Upstate New York, in the second week of October. My eldest son said that the fall colors in New York State are very beautiful to see in the month of October. He gathered information about the places that could be visited and decided that we go to Lake George. One Saturday morning, we started for Lake George from New Jersey by road along with my  cute grand daughter Anvita.

Lake George, nicknamed the Queen of American Lakes, is a long, narrow lake located at the southeast base of the Adirondack Mountains, in the northeastern portion of the U.S. state of New York. It lies within the upper region of the Great Appalachian Valley. The lake is situated along the path between the valley of the Hudson River and that of the St. Lawrence, so lies on the direct land route between Albany, New York and Montreal, Canada. One can experience the subtle shift of air as summer bursts into a colorful array of reds, purples and yellows – and watch as the seasons change before your eyes. The Adirondack Region is said to be one of the longest fall foliage seasons in the country, providing an incredible getaway for leaf-peeper.As August wanes across the region, the leaves begin to change, eventually bursting into full color beginning in the Adirondack Mountains in early September. The best time to see fall foliage in the Adirondacks is late September into early October. The progression of color change decreases steadily in elevation, until mid-to-late October when the Adirondack Coast of Lake Champlain and Lake George begin to shed the last of the season's vibrant colors.

We stayed on the banks of Glenmoore Lake in a resort, Glenmoore Lodge, specially selected by my daughter-in-law. Glenmoore Lake is is a small lake a few miles away from Lake George, hence away from the hustle and bustle one finds in the main Lake George area. Surrounded by tall pines, it has the perfect setting for a relaxing, satisfying vacation.The lodge is situated directly on the shores of Glen Lake, a peaceful, picturesque lake only 4 1/2 miles from Lake George Village.

I shot extensively at Glenmoore Lake and Lake George with Nikon D 300 and 17-55/2.8 lens
