Grand Forks photographer Dave Bruner and his wife, Sheila, recently took a two-day northeastern North Dakota road trip to view fall colors, which were in full display. On their way to the Turtle Mountains and the Pembina Gorge, with a final stop at Turtle River State, in Cavalier they found colorful painted bales on display throughout the town.

Heavy fog over the Red River east of Grafton, N.D. I was able to capture the sun at sunrise between the bridge girders as it was so diffused by the fog.

Drove on this small trail into the Turtle Mountains and found these colorful trees.

Found this old barn sitting out in the stubble field. The foggy morning gave the image a serene look.

Found these aspen trees in a hollow of a hill that caught my eye.

The Pembina River was fairly low on water flow but had nice fall colors along it’s banks.
