I was going to say that top one looked alot like Northern Ontario, not far off though. The second one must be somewhere in the appalachians perhaps?

Our color season was late, dull, and then cut short from this weekend's wind and rain. Friday morning the maples along my street were bathed in red...by Sunday they were bare.
As a child growing up in Western Pennsylvania I hiked through the woods one autumn day and climbed to the top of a big hill, and was presented with a view much like the first picture. It's shocking to see something so beautiful, and the memory is still with me 35 years later.
Beautiful!!!! Autumn is my favorite season.
Cool pix!
I wonder how anyone can look at the sheer beauty of these photos and not believe in God! What a beautiful site. Thanks.
Do a google search for yannarthusbertrand (no spaces etc, and you will find his aerial web page. It looks like it is a french web site. beautiful pictures.
Fall landscape at Traful, Neuquén Province, Argentina (S 38°57'-W 68°04').
The Andes in the south of Neuquén Province are nicknamed “the Argentine Switzerland” because their landscape recalls that of the Alps. This temperate forest is unique in Latin America, and most of it lies in neighboring Chile. Wedged between the Atacama Desert to the north, the pampas to the east, and the ocean to the west, it is a botanical island, displaying a remarkable degree of endemism: almost 90 percent of its plant species grow nowhere else. As well as being highly varied, it is also beautiful in autumn, when the flaming red of the beeches contrasts with the dark green of conifers. But these two countries of southern Latin America have already lost almost half of this woodland. In Argentina, natural forest is often replaced by monoculture of pine or eucalyptus. These plantations are deeply impoverished biologically and, as a result, are vulnerable to illness and other problems. Nevertheless, in some countries they help keep deforestation in check and protect the soil from erosion.
