My original cedar railing system was shot after 25 years from neglect.

I got the design inspiration from a brewery bar deck in Littleton, NH. Rebar and pressure treated 2 x 4 with a 5/4 x6 capper.

I lost the link with the realtime foliage map.

Made many trips in the past to NH, VT and ME. Saved my vacation time for leaf peeping. Since those days, It's earlier, no? I recall Oct 12 for a good date.

Maybe certain areas, with a lot of water....but not on the Central Maine plains.

My ex visited ( by airplane) her friend in NY and they camped in VT. It was pretty good. No photo dump yet. Jet lag.

I used the opportunity to scan some ancient medium format slides with the 45 mpix Nikon. I don't think that a (new) scanner would do better (maybe a little bit) with decent results. I'll refine this. The slides are worth preserving electronically. A little at a time.

Electronically touching up the slides will be a bit of time travel. And less worry.
