A bird's eye view shows off the full spectrum of autumn's colours. With many trees turning shades of autumnal orange, bold evergreens - primarily balsam fir and red spruce trees - provide stark contrast.

The multi-colored landscape was captured in a series of striking photos across northeastern America using a drone. All five areas pictured – Lakewood in Pennsylvania, Killington in Vermont, Lincoln in New Hampshire, Cannonsville Reservoir and Kaaterskill Falls, both in New York – are a far cry from the major cities the region is perhaps best known for.
