For the uninitiated, woah woah season refers to that magic of the fall season when the weather is gloomy and the vibes are oh-so-vampy — very similar to the movie Twilight and its accompanying soundtrack that included the song “Eyes on Fire” by Blue Foundation, which is where the title of the season gets its name. If you’re looking to capture the essence of the mystical fall gloom, there’s no better park to capture all of the glory of the season than the Mt. Airy Forest. Just as the sun starts to sink through the trees decked out in the most beautiful hues of autumn, grab a camera and venture through the acres of wooded trails. Bonus points if you stage a photo shoot in the magical treehouse. cincinnati-oh.gov.
