Ceilings about 5000 here today but visibility was decent so a pilot friend and I took a 172 from our FBO for some foliage sightseeing.

Nice photos, but you know you can open the windows on a Skyhawk, right? wouldn't get that glare you see on a couple of them...Just a suggestion for next time...
Heh, funny story about that.
Shortly after I got my ticket, I went out for a short photo flight. I figured that I’d get the best shot by opening the window instead of trying to shoot through the plastic window. Upon opening the window and sticking arm out with phone in hand, I just about dropped it. I wasn’t used to the rush of air and my phone just about slipped out of my hand. Now I’ve been a lot more careful.

And that’s what I would be worried about!

That's why most people use real cameras.

Well bless your heart, you’re starting to sound like a southerner.

The nicest fall foliage I have seen from the air was on the flight home after picking up my RV at KGEV in northern NC. The weather was not perfect and ceilings were low (for me), so we (me flying, the 8K-plus hour ATP/CFI/CFII/etc. in the right seat) were a little lower than I would have liked over parts of NC and TN. Not exactly what I'd call scud running, but given the lack of good places to land, it seemed like it at the time. The trees below were dense, beautiful, and covering hilly terrain. At one point my buddy said, "Wow, those trees sure are pretty... pretty close."

We had to be pretty low too and I was constantly scanning for where I might set the thing down if we had trouble.

Saw some decent color this afternoon while flying around our area. Two weeks ago everything was solid green. I didn't think we'd get much color here, but there are plenty of reds in my neighborhood, so maybe it won't be as bad as I thought.
