Houzz TV: Soar Over Autumn in the USA From Air by Drone
You have probably heard about the incredible leaf colours that blanket parts of USA’s New England and the Midwest during autumn. But to actually see the red, yellow and orange leaves glowing like embers along hilly landscapes, around glassy lakes and dappled among harbour towns is another experience entirely. With that in mind, we sent a drone soaring over picturesque New Hampshire scenery in the USA to give you an aerial view of an original pilgrim home in Gilmanton, a scenic train cutting through the White Mountain National Forest and more.
Keep Watching:
Glorious and inspirational!! Well done!
Absolutely beautiful pictures. I love fall for the reason of the colors, the coolness & sunshine and how vibrant everything looks. Well done article
This makes me miss New England. I recognized The Mount Washington Hotel, but must know which coastal town that is — I couldn't identify it!
Gorgeous! I'm in Chicago now but have lived in Boston and I remember.... More subtle here and I'm looking at burnt oranges against cobalt blue skies.
Absolutely Stunning!
Marvellous!
Oh, breathtaking! What coastal town is this? I'd love to tour this area w/ my hubby. We're from Texas and would love seeing this in person!
Thanks, I needed that.
This year I was in New England. The houses and colorful leafs are wonderful. Most disappointing were that only rare signposting's showed important leaf peeping points. Also only very few restrooms or rather dirty restrooms; no one could use them. Special the mobile toilets weren't cleaned for month. An other point were the unfriendly people and aggressive drivers.
I miss Fall in Michigan....
@Freya's-Guess you didn't make it to Vermont, the Berkshires, or Maine?
So proud of our beautiful country.
Love having four seasons. Would not want it any other way...
Oh my!!!!
@laurafn
We went from the coast up to Main. Then to Vermont and drove the 100 down. We weren't the only dissepointed people. A family with a person in wheelchair have had lot of problems. They drove also the 100 down and needed a toilett for the handicaped.
They found after looking for quite a time one in a cafè. They only could use it with buying a coffee.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Lived in Boston for several years. Fall was spectacular - the trees were like a bowl of Fruitloops! And the scent! Spicy, pungent with wood smoke, musky, fresh, cold clean air with that hint of snow. I loved it! In the deep South, leaves just turn brown and fall off the tress. And then it rains.
silviakunst, why? It was probably cheaper than renting a helicopter to do it and it allows them to fly and film lower than a helicopter. Can you imaging waking up and seeing some helicopter hovering in front of your house with some guy or gal hanging out of it snapping pictures?
Shame on you for using drones, a serious threat to aviation. Just for some pretty pictures? Disgusting!
drahwilliams, these are the things they are made for. It's not these people who are spoiling things, it's others. Go after them!
absolutely inspirational !!!
There is so much beauty in our world...Thank you from a Florida girl!
@ silviakunst
Why a drone?
Because most of the beautiful scenery points on the pictures are on privat property.
No thruway because the boatclub fenced all the ways to the big lake.
Because if you wanted to take a picture you need to go on privat property. All around thousens of signposts for NO TRESPASSING. Of cause we never passed the privat property.
Because when you want to see a good peeping point there in no sighnpost that showed the way. Only very short before the beautiful point stood a sign. This one wasn't really nessesary because you saw already the point but before you were looking of your eyes to see which direction you need to go.
Maybe I was to used to good pointed peeping points, clean toiletts and friendly and helpful people because in the West we found it all.
Stunning! Words can't describe the beauty of America!!!
Just beautiful! I've always wanted to visit the area and even more so now. Thank you.
Beautiful!
Best time of the year, even Britain has a lot of places like this, the countryside all round our town is fantastic
I opened this video up early this morning and tears filled me up, this was such a beautiful way to begin the day. love the Houzz videos!
The "Coastal Town" is actually Wolfeboro on Lake Winnipesaukee.
amazing!!!
So beautiful!
The rich red colors are gorgeous
This year I was not able to stay long enough at our island summer cabin near Wolfeboro to see those leaves, so this video did indeed lift my soul. There are scenic view pull-offs on the highways, but who needs markers when the beauty is everywhere you look? The bathrooms at the town docks shown are handicapped accessible and super clean, and New Englanders are historically reserved but certainly not unfriendly. The number of leaf peepers who flood the area in the fall probably occasionally strain tempers, clog highways and push facilities' use to the max...so Freya, please don't categorize the entire region by a few experiences.

Fabulous scenery! Just got back from a weekend in Boston and we found it to be lovely. There were friendly, helpful people everywhere we went and a great vibe. My sister lives up outside of Portland Maine and I find it to also be wonderful with nice people and lots to see, eat, and do. Additionally our son went to school in New Hampshire. Great too! Never had a problem with public restrooms - even I90 restrooms aren't bad and they are busy places! Perhaps the person who's complaining about New England was there over the last winter because otherwise I just don't get it. :)
The music is a perfect complement to the fabulous video! What is the music? Who composed and performed it?
Thank you for a tiny vacation. Ahhh. That put a smile in my morning.
Definitely Wolfeboro! It is home to one of the most beautiful boarding school campuses Brewster Academy. I was lucky to spend 3 years there and the people were wonderful and the scenery was absolutely amazing all year long.
UPLIFTING! Great drone handling for superb views. The music is paired perfectly. Really good eye for artistic presentation like the lone car on single road through massive leaf color and the harbor shot. I sent it to my friends because I know it will delight them. Wish it were longer. Maybe next year? Something this great leaves you wanting more.
America is beautiful! Love my country!
wow this footage is breathtaking! i remember driving through new hampshire/vermont this time years ago and couldn't believe the beauty on every hillside. thanks for capturing this special time of the year Houzz!
The wonders of technology make our lives more beautiful and more enjoyable
Stunningly gorgeous!
This is glorious! The earth is abundant for our every need in life. Are we really over populated and are our resources really depleted? Or... Is it our perception that needs to change? Are we simply reacting to our fears of losing something so glorious? Or are we trusting in life (not pushing or pulling the river) and the knowledge that our every need will be sustained but our desires are where are problems arise? Our perception of our needs possibly? Thank you for the reminder of the beauty that surrounds us!
You have given me a gift on a difficult day. Thank you so much, this is beyond beautiful, perfect music pairing. One of the things I love about my country is how diverse the natural beauty is. This made me cry, but I was smiling. Thank you!
Several years back after observing the Pirates' Who Don't Do Anything declaration that they had "never been to Boston in the fall", I made a solemn promise to myself and my wife that we would do just that.
We had started a tradition of taking each child when they arrived at the age of ten on a trip with just mom and dad to visit an American Historical site. In his ninth year, my youngest proposed a trip to England for his trip, for as he stated, "America started over there, Dad". Though his argument was unassailable, we instead planned our Boston excursion.
In Colorado the coniferous trees remain verdant year round, though the aspens for a mere fortnight shimmer in dorado vibrations across the mountains. But to see the sheer volume and pallet of color displayed in the environs of Boston was breathtaking and inspiring. We felt minuscule--insignificant.
Now we can declare that we have been to Boston in the fall--no one can claim we don't do anything!
STUNNING!!! I love being back home in the Pacific Northwest with our soaring Douglas firs, cedars, pines, and other conifers, but this time of year I do miss our years spent back east. There's nothing like the colors of hardwoods in the fall! Thanks so much for the truly uplifting video. I'll be sharing it on my FB, blog, and twitter pages as an early Thanksgiving gift to my friends, family, and readers.
Colours of our world - how beautiful, made me wish I had wings.
We spent from Oct 7-14th in lower New Hampshire. We could not have timed it better! Every day the colors everywhere got more intense! I got close to 1000 images to take back home to the Mojave Desert, and deleted almost none of them...:-)
I have lived in Vancouver and several years in the midwest, and traveled through almost every state in the Union. Everywhere there are good people and beautiful landscapes. But I missed New England the most, especially in the fall. I grew up in a suburb of Boston. Now living in Maine I love all the seasons and am glad to constantly help tourists who stop me on my walks and are looking for specific points of interest. My husband and I regularly travel through the countryside and find beautiful views without being on private property. When I drove through other parts of the country, I was careful not to trespass on farms, ranches and other lots. We get a lot of tourists in Kennebunkport and it is hard for locals to get around during summer and fall, but we understand and just live with it. However, it can get annoying when you put up a sign that says "Private property" and several cars still come down your gravel road setting off your driveway alarm. People from the midwest and west seem to find us difficult but I never find it so. New Englanders are yankees and very individualistic. They don't mince many words; thus are not as effusive as the very socialized groups from other parts of the country but that doesn't mean they aren't helpful or don't like you. I've encountered people in other states who have tried to give me wrong directions and even steal from me, but I don't take all people to be like that.
Here is a photo of the Mt. Washington Hotel and Mr. Washington with its first snow. A beautiful place to visit.
Gave me chills!
Becky. It isn't a coastal ocean town but actually the coastal lake town of Wolfeboro, NH on Lake Winnipesaukee.
I signed in here to watch the video of my home. I've lived here all my life, and while there are some negatives such as the long winters, some bad drivers and some unsanitary toilets, it's still one of the most beautiful places in America. When you try to find the negative, you will find it. Here, there are wonderful people, hard-working souls with little geographic area to navigate in small states. However, the spirit of goodness is there among us, and for all of you who know the famous quote, "Once a New Englander, always a New Englander," you understand. Until you've visited in the Fall months, you can't imagine the beauty of it all. Come.
Thank you for this beautiful uplifting video! And PLEASE, PLEASE, tell me what the gorgeous piece of music you chose that is SO inspirational!!! PERFECTION!!!!
Love it!!!, Beautiful background music too. I am making it a date to visit New England next fall on vacation....another one of nature's wonder! I would like to use the pictures as my screen saver. Thanks for sharing.
This is stunning.
Thanks, I needed that! I've been spending my days taking my sister to numerous docs and finding any time to relax and empty out the stress is well appreciated.
Loved this! I've been through Maine once, and have always wanted to go back. Did my heart good. I needed that! Bless who ever thought of posting this.
Some very familiar places. Love it.
After a hard days work my soul was definitely lifted. Now I want to move :) What beautiful place, kinda looks like the Ozarks in the Midwest.
I just watched again - terrific editing! What train is that going around the mountain, pray tell?
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing sensual creation
Fantastic! All in the US are so privileged to to have such a beautiful country! Can you do similar scenes of other regions in your country?
Wow! Spectacular!
The pic on Sean's profile is spectacular!
What's not to like about fall. This is what greets me when I get in and out of the house.
Incredible! I live in NC now but I'm from western NY and this made me so homesick!
Poor freya, think she was on a bus tour. I'm a native here but must admit the term "important leaf peeping sites" threw me! The best places for leaves are dirt roads and tiny backroads, i'm thinking VT although presently i call downeast home. We yankees are really not that nasty, quiet yes. Hubby ran an air ambulance service, not loving the use of drones..
This beautiful music is "Equinox" by Audiomachine! You can download it on ITunes! Thank you very much Mitchell!! It's an album from the 2014 Olympics!
lovely video! i live in western NC near asheville, and we have some lovely autumns here as well ... although not so much this year ... thank you, houzz.
What is the name of the accompanying music?
cabernet2, We live just down the road near Greenville, SC and this fall was below par. Our neighbor has a couple of maples in the yard which are usually beautiful, but they weren't this year. That rainy spell we had earlier this month didn't help any.
A place close to my heart <3 fantastic!
Fantastic video! Feel like I am there! So wish to see the fall colors of Boston and Maine one day. Southern California is so barren compared to the beauty of the East Coast. Thanks for sharing this...now on my "bucket list."
It was a truly spectacular year for leaf color. Late summer was dry (almost too dry) and the first frosts came in quick and sharp, which is the perfect recipe for brilliant red and gold leaves. I live on the CT shoreline and this autumn just made my heart sing.
Thanks houzz. Makes me want to worship the God that created it all and sustains it by the power of His mighty right hand. We Southerners appreciate such beauty seen in the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Great Smoky Mountains, the coastal cities of Charleston, Savannah and the Outer Banks, the peach farms of the Sandhills and the Piedmont. It's always a blessing and inspiration when we can enjoy these things this time of year around Thanksgiving and Christmas with family and loved ones.
How beautiful. Uplifting to the spirit indeed.
Many thanks for the more than beautiful display of color and music. I could watch and listen to this every morning to assure a great day to follow!
Gorgeous!
Thanks I live in Texas and miss this
Thanks for this! Happy Michigan memories of the featured Robinette's Apple Orchard. Every fall we would buy apples, watch cider and donuts being made, take photos at the big apple on top of the farm wagon. When our son was a baby, we cross country skied the orchards with him in a backpack. Love these HOUZZ videos!
Beautiful!!! Who is the composer for the music? What an inspirational way to start my day, thank you!
The work of our creator is beautiful any time of the year
Simply stunning! Please make more drone videos like this one!
Indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a beautiful video >>> What a beautiful world!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much. I am stuck in the south and miss home so much.
DAZZLING!!!!!
How beautiful!!! Thank you so much.
Fantastic! Awe inspiring! The music is so well suited to the pictures! Colors are beautiful! My deceased mom loved fall so it brought tears to my eyes! Thank you for allowing us to experience this!
I cannot tell you how many times I've watched this video now. I Shazammed the music, it's Equinox by Audiomachine. Went to Apple Music and downloaded the entire album, Tree of Life.
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing video. You have made my day!!!
This was very cool to see. Well done!
So beautiful.
Well, here it is 3 months since I first viewed this video ........... and have enjoyed it dozens of times since!!! It is truly exhilarating and so masterfully done. Folks keep asking for the accompanying music - it's "Equinox" by Audiomachine
After reading your comment, I had to watch it again, joyfinchrist. Still gave me chills.
Oh yes, bevsimone123!!! It's a wonderful way to start the day - to view majestic beauty created by God set to uplifting and soul-inspiring music. And THIS is just an infinitesimal glimpse into His amazing creation!!!
Exhilarating and majestic ... utterly
OMG, this is beyond heart lifting!
All beautiful to look at but the second photo is just the best !
Our own slice of heaven in Northern Michigan!
Lovely season, not just in the US
Great video! Here's one of the Appalachian mountains in North Georgia, one of my favorite place to spend the fall.
The photos are beautiful but I thought it moved too quickly so did not leave me with the relaxing feeling I was hoping for.
I live here, and I thought it was beautiful in full screen. Some of the landmarks are very familiar, and I've been to them countless times. Even though the winters are sometimes difficult, New England is breathtaking in the Fall. We have been to Michigan, but not in the Fall. Love Sleeping Bear Dunes, Charlevoix and Lake Michigan. Blessed to live in such a beautiful country!
These pictures are amazing! The fall season is so beautiful in Utah right now!
beautiful. live in arizona, we really don't get this during the fall
These Spectacular Views of Fall Foliage was fantastic. The
atmosphere was fascinating
Truly incredible and one of the reasons I love the USA so much! Makes the 23 hour flight from Australia so worthwhile. You are blessed with both gorgeous scenery and amazing architecture.
Like it so much!
Very Beautiful
