A client has asked me to do some general photo work (nature and landscape, mostly) in the Berkshires this spring and summer.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

As others have said, there are lots of places to see but I wanted to remind you of a few things. I've spent a lot of time in the Berkshires; my mother was born there and I've had family there all my life. I just returned yesterday from Lenox where my aunt/uncle live.
I'm assuming you may come up 8 from CT. and route 20 is one of the main roads that will take you between Lee, Lenox, Pittsfield, etc. Warning!!!!! Be careful about your speed!!!! The cops have NO sense of humor. I've never seen so many cops/and unfortunate drivers as this last week end and according my relatives, they are on a tear to generate revenue. It will only get worse this summer.....
Also, as you probable know, Lenox is where Tanglewood is (Boston Symphony, Pops, etc.) and you should know it will get very very busy in, around, during, the season so check out [a href=\"http://www.tanglewood.org]http://www.tanglewood.org[/url] and plan accordingly.
OK, so you've been warned, now to the pleasant parts. The Berkshires are stunningly beautiful. There are so many places to see scenery that you'll have to do a lot of driving to see what interests you. It's a peaceful, and quiet place that gives you another slice of life unlike what I see here in Boston. The smaller towns are great. The more rural appeal, the quaint NE atmosphere, many friendly people. I love it all.
If you like art, I'd highly recommend a trip to Williamstown and the Clark museum. They have a wonderful collection (not quite the equal of my alma mater in New Haven, but extremely good).
