A taste of Autumn

This is absolutely glorious, Nick, and needs to b awarded lots of stars. I can only give it one unfortunately.

Thanks a lot dear LGM ~ I shall think of each leaf being a star from you then :~)

Gorgeous light and fall colours.

Thank you very much Jaap

I keep regretting that I've missed the last couple of springtimes for various health-related issues but then, equally, i've missed a couple of autumns too! The latter is being assuaged by shots such as this one here!

Hi Andy, yes you have been through the wars recently, hopefully you are firmly upon the road of recovery now

What a fabulous shot Nick! With the almost silhouetted figure, it is even more beautiful. I would love to visit Sheffield Park, and autumn looks like a great time for my first visit....next year maybe!?
All the best ~ Rosa.

Hi Rosa, It is the number one place to capture Autumn colours contrasting well and good water for reflections in the appropriate conditions. Timing is the key and each year it varies in my experience, it is often later than you would think and for you a lengthy journey. Timing also plays a part in arriving , as the queues to the parking areas can get lengthy.. I always used to get there an hour or two before it opened.

I've just looked at their website and I see that they have introduced booking during the busy Autumn period

You have the Blue Bell railway very close by as well for plenty more photo opportunities if interested.

I hope that you get there one year ~~~

All the best ~ Nick

It sounds like a great place to visit Nick. Thanks for the link, and hopefully next year I will make it there. Cheers.

What a beautiful shot indeed Nick and yes certainly each leaf is a golden star awarded by me also ..

Best wishes and stay safe.
