November 2010 Queer Loop-d-Loop

Peter and I joined 12 other gents from GO on a superbly named hike through Chesterfield, NH. The hike was held on Sunday, November 7, 2010. I used my 14-24mm f/2.8 lens for wide shots and my 135mm f/2 lens for the closeups. The 24-70mm f/2.8 filled the gap when needed.
