New England: A Photographic Portrait

by Tom Croke (Photographer), Sara Day

Overview

New England is a keeper of American history, of family traditions, and succulent secret recipes. It can steal the hearts of lifelong residents and visitors alike by transforming turbulent weather into sheer art. From crystal clear streams that flow down a Vermont mountainside during a spring thaw, to the cool brisk air that fills a Cape Cod sail in summer; from that first crisp bite of an apple from a local orchard in autumn, to the soothing quiet of the first winter snowfall that gently blankets gold and amber leaves, New England is a place that moves the spirit and refreshes the soul.

One visit wouldn't be nearly enough to experience the multi-colored personalities of these six exquisitely unique states. Throughout these pages, photographer Tom Croke has vividly captured the essence of each and every one.
