Seeking Fall Color

Monday was Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.  Jerry and Anna Lee went to services at the Lake Placid Synagogue where we were graciously made welcome.   The congregation is small, split between locals and Florida snowbirds.  It is unaffiliated.  The Rabbi and Cantor are quite good and the sermon was very timely.  Virtually everyone had a special part in the services. 

The next day Cheryl joined us to sitesee in this beautiful area.  We looked for the fall colors we know abound but the main color we saw was grey due to low cloud cover.

We drove the winding road to the top of Whiteface Mountain. 
 Seeking a great panorama, we walked  through a dark tunnel and rode the twenty-seven-story elevator to the top. 
With the exception of a few teasing peeks at the mountains beyond, this is what we saw.
Returning to town, we found these delightful critters

and accompanying scupture.
 We stopped near High Falls Gorge where we did find a beautiful area.
