Foam is the correct answer.

To be fair, I had seen quite a few of these photos before finally visiting this past month, but I'm a realist. I knew these photos are just shopped for the likes and I cringe seeing it all. But HOLY SHIT is this state beautiful in Autumn. I have a weird crush for this state now (why I joined the sub). If I could handle hardcore winters and afford a house I would live here.

Exactly. Pumpkins, lanterns, fences, string-lights, etc. It's sooo fake. I get it's a talent to be able to make photos like this, but labeling yourself as a "photographer" and not a "graphic artist" is pretty bs and misleading.

I take it y’all have never seen the Insta account @kjp because oh boy talk about fake photos. Half the shit in his photos including props are just added in. I’m not from Vermont and I find it extremely annoying. It’s creating a false reality for people who have never been.
