Overlook photography is an ongoing project of many years duration, with all images captured on afternoon-morning overnight family visits, most captured during fall leaf season.  As a result of the limited duration of each stay, as well as the need to make lodging reservations months in advance, guessing at the likely best time for peak color, each trip is constrained by the conditions obtaining at the time.  Bracketed image HDRs and panoramas are often used to convey colors and scope of view.
