ABOUT THE COVER: When early morning fog is predicted, Waseh Ahmad of Reading ventures out on forest roads in Berks County, seeking photo opportunities. Although he managed to take stunning photos this day, it wasn’t until he was leaving the area that he noticed this view, lit by diffused sunlight, with a fairy-tale-like feel from the fog. What would have been an empty, eerie road in the early morning had turned into a beautiful rendition of what fall in Pennsylvania feels like.
