FAIRFIELD -- Driving through New Jersey's many highways and freeways, it's hard sometimes to remember how much of the state is untouched.
In fact, around forty-two percent of N.J. is forested. As the days get shorter and colder, that means our state's many trees and foliage have started to change into some fantastic colors.
On Wednesday afternoon, I went up in a Cessna single-prop airplane to capture some of N.J.'s changing colors.
The plane was flown by Capt. Stephen M. Lind, a pilot since 1969 and a flight instructor with The Eagle Flight Squadron, based out of East Orange. We flew through Morris County all the way to the Delaware Water Gap and back, slowing down every now and then for pictures.
