An Autumn Walk

 

The colours of Autumn can be stunning, even on an overcast day. The oranges and gold truly shining through as the leaves say goodbye before their final journey to the ground. As a photographer I cannot help but try to capture their glory while on a simple walk through my local park.

Although the weather is now turning cold, the colours of Autumn heat up. Green and brown giving way to yellow ochre and burnt orange, russet and amber, terracotta and cinnamon.


Tree trunks become dark silhouettes against the gold and yellow. The pathways are coved with a carpet of fallen leaves, slowly turning brown and crisp.

Fallen leaves float upon the waters while also reflecting on the surface in such a way that it becomes difficult to tell one from another.




One last look back before I have to leave the gold of Autumn behind and return to the grey pavements and roads, but the memories linger on...
