Fall comes and goes pretty quickly around here so it’s best to take full advantage of it while you can. This past weekend, temperatures only reached the low 60s during the day and the sky was the most perfect, clear, crisp blue. It was the perfect opportunity to experience fall on the Gulf Coast. We packed the weekend full of apple cider, beef stew, pumpkin patch, corn maze, walk in the woods, football, and jack-o-lanterns.

I hope that we get at least one more fall weekend this year. Please pass on any suggestions for great fall photo opportunities!

…places! I recently pulled together a collection of my favorite location photos for a project. Luckily, most of my favorite place pictures were taken right here in Pensacola. Thank heavens I like my adopted hometown so much.

I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to some great places – usually with the intention of taking tons of sightseeing pictures. But my favorite shots are always the details and the people that make a location unique. For instance, this woman I met in a village in Macedonia. She was just baking bread in a traditional outdoor oven. Nothing unusual for her, but not something you’d come across in Florida. So it became my ideal Macedonia photo (and one of my all-time favorites).
Baking bread
And sometimes, my favorite shots of a trip are a little more grandiose than an old woman baking bread. This one, from a trip to Russia a few years ago, slipped by unnoticed in my Lightroom gallery until recently. I don’t know why I never picked it as a favorite on prior glances, but it’s grown on me.

I’m always searching for new “favorite places” so if you’ve got suggestions, post them to me…especially if they’re in driving distance of Pensacola! See more Favorite Places at www.mlchapman.com/places/gallery.html.
