The colors of fall on "Liberty Green"

Photo courtesy of Vic Zigmont. Photographs of spectacular autumn scenery are pouring in from around the country this year, and when I see a scene as gorgeous as this one I just have to publish it! Today's picture, submitted by photographer Vic Zigmont, features the breathtaking colors of the autumn leaves on Clinton, Connecticut's Liberty Green, and the following is his story behind the image: "This photo was taken at Liberty Green in the town of Clinton, Connecticut this fall during peak color in our area. I took the photo at sunset to get the warm light on the leaves. The green is typical of what is seen in small town New England with its Civil War monument, flag pole and cannon. The green is used for various town activities, craft fairs, and for just a quiet place to sit."  --Vic Zigmont New England is famous the world over for its magnificent fall colors, and it appears that the region fared a lot better in the "leaf peeping" department this year than my neck of the woods did. I have often heard it said that a drive through New England during the fall is one of the most satisfying vacations one can take, and photos like this one really whet my appetite for a New England vacation of my own!   Click here to comment on today's picture.   Visit the POTD Archives for previous "Pictures Of The Day"!     Submit a photo of your own!            Why I publish the "Picture of the Day"
