A typical fall scene is one that normally consists of red, yellow, orange, and brown leaves dotted across an entire valley. But the way Utah does fall will totally change the way you think of this season.

In this drone video uploaded by Justin McFarland, you’ll feel like you’re on a fantastic aerial trip inside the Willy Wonka factory —minus the creepy and crazy incidents. The hot pink, dark purple, and soft lavender colors of the trees near the Snowbasin resort in Utah will make you want to book a vacation there immediately to take in the beautiful scenery. 

The video was originally posted on McFarland’s Instagram, which also has several photos to accompany this gorgeous video.  Read more…

On Sunday, YouTube user Ryan Canty uploaded drone and on-the-ground video of the frozen Old Silver Beach near his grandmother’s home in North Falmouth, Massachusetts. 

Now, despite the videos’ titles — “Entire Ocean Frozen, CRAZY!”— the entire Atlantic Ocean is not actually frozen. Obviously. But the snow and ice does extend pretty far offshore, which makes for an incredibly surreal visual. There are even people walking out there!
