In nearby Franconia, there is a very small airstrip that provides glider rides to visitors. They can often be seen gliding over the Notch pass and I-93 as it wends its way down to what is affectionately known as flatlander country!

Another great shot PJ.
Good strong colours and the road almost looks like a river in this shot. I think you got the balance right with only the smaller strip of sky and the bulk of the image being those lovely soft hills but I suspect someone, at some point might say they want to see more sky. Just tell them to go outside and look up. :)

This view could almost be a aerial shot itself PJ
Isn't it nice to have those blue skies, and You were fortunate to catch the glider too. Is there a place to get a coffee nearby ? . :o)

Life's around said Phil the 35 millimetre cameraman. I recently went to the doctors, and said I've got icon fever, but he told me there was no cure for the disease.

Agree with the right amount of sky in photo. It give me the feeling I'm soaring and riding the wind currents much like the glider.
