I realized as the leaves were turning that I had not been to Purgatory Chasm all year. Given how interesting a spot that is, I figured it would be an interesting place to visit for some fall color.
What I found when I arrived was a different matter though. Instead of the color I saw everywhere else, the trees in the chasm were on a whole different schedule. They had really just started turning. Given this I didn’t come away with too many great shots of the chasm. However, the rest of the park did delivery some pretty sights. Though it was quite dry, I enjoyed exploring the little creek that flows behind the chasm. The combination of calm water and still air really showed off the colors here.
On the way back I stumbled across some more great color and views along the shores of the Hopkinton Reservoir. I caught it right at sunset, with some wispy clouds high above giving a perfect pink glow.
After the sun set I continued taking photos of the water. I particularly appreciated the views of the warm fall color on the other side combined with the cool blue water.
