Autumn is arguably the ideal time for a trip to New England – when the landscape settles into a unique, tranquil, and enchanting atmosphere. This region, stretching across the northeastern United States, comprises six states: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Perhaps the most enchanting time is...New Hampshire, where the landscape transforms magically under the autumn sky. Trees get a chance to change their colors, and the forests and fields become dreamy and romantic. In addition, the stateVermontVermont is also famous for its picturesque fall scenery. Three-quarters of its land is covered by forests, boasting the highest density of maple trees in the United States; interspersed among them are tranquil lakes and winding, undulating roads.
90 km/h
"Driving is a hobby of mine," photographer Thang Soi began his story, "and this trip wasn't just about amazing photos, of course, the other amazing thing was the dreamlike roads throughout the journey. There were times when I stood at the top of a hill, watching the red leaves stretch to the distant horizon, and then drove straight through to that horizon."
"At that point, I decided to stop the car on the long slope, urge my friends to get out, and bring out tables and chairs to sit and have coffee. After carefully observing the slope, I opened the map and measured the distance."90 kmIt seemed so. I turned to everyone and said, "I can run this 90 km in 60 minutes."
Then, exactly one hour later, I floored the gas pedal and sped down the road, through countless trees and leaves, bathed in sunlight, past streams along the way, and across a horizon of red foliage. 90 km, 60 minutes, and I was completely satisfied with the space, the time, and myself."
Red
"What color impressed me the most in America?"RedThe red is endless. The red changes color along each stretch of road.
The pine trees only turn red for about two weeks, and that's how long I was there. It was wonderful to see them get redder each day, until they were completely covered in red."
Sound
"In Washington, I spent the night in a rather crowded and noisy motel. One night in particular, in the dorm room, a young man snored so loudly that the others couldn't sleep and got angry, throwing pillows around. That was the noisiest moment for me. But as soon as I got out of there, everything became quiet again."
That silence was truly peaceful. I walked alone, walking tirelessly. Wandering around taking photos, buying coffee, lying on the grass, fiddling with my newly purchased iPhone 11 Pro Max in America, observing the mischievous and noisy young people nearby. There was a lot of traffic on the road. But strangely, I couldn't remember a single sound except the silence.
It was the same in New York. Obviously, New York is very noisy, but the only thing I remember now is the noise of the pub next to my homestay (because it was so loud). The other sounds are gone. It was as if I was in a land of complete silence.
"America is so poetic. Wild, free. Quiet and ethereal. And that's the wonderful America, for my first time setting foot here."
