A Walk In The Park

Clear skies accompanied by crisp temperatures in the 50s made for a idealistic autumn afternoon as seen from a hiking trail at Palisades Kepler State Park, southeast of Cedar Rapids, Iowa and just south of Highway 30 on Sunday, October 7, 2012. The top image was shot at 2:30 PM, the bottom at 2:50 PM. Autumn foliage was at near peak, a little early because of the dry conditions that prevailed during this year.
