New England Fall Foliage reflection off the Kancamangus Highway, one of Americas most scenic byways.

From Wikipedia: New Hampshire Route 112 (abbreviated NH 112) is a 56.39-mile-long (90.75 km) east west state highway in northern New Hampshire. The highway winds across the state, connecting Bath to Conway via the scenic and mountainous area of the White Mountain National Forest. Part of this highway, which runs through the White Mountains, is known as the Kancamagus Highway. This highway is known for its views of autumn foliage and is a popular drive in September and October for so-called leaf peeping tourism.
The Kancamagus Highway is a 26.5-mile-long (42.6 km) two-lane road that runs east and west through the White Mountains and constitutes the eastern half of New Hampshire Route 112. It has been designated a National Scenic Byway by the United States Department of Transportation under the name Kancamagus Scenic Byway.
The highway stays open all winter, although it occasionally closes for short periods while crews clear heavy snows. Its only major intersection, Bear Notch Road, which connects with the town of Bartlett, is closed all winter.
