Across the Southwest / Adam Schallau

I spent the entire day photographing autumn color in the mountains north of Taos. We still have about a week to go in most places before we reach peak, but even so, I still managed to find some nice color in the aspens.  My first stop was Cabresto Canyon, the same location from my post on August 13th, 2008, and then onto Valle Vidal. It’s been a bit warmer than usual for this time of year, but we had fresh dusting of snow on the mountains around Costilla Reservoir.
