The Colour Of Autumn

I'm starting with some fall colours today, and I've got a lot, so with the odd interruption, I'll be posting well into November, though the peak of it all is around now.

 I was crossing the Rideau River at Billings Bridge one gloomy morning and caught the sight of the fisherman on the river contrasting well with the fall colours. As you can particularly see with the second shot, water levels have been low.


These are from different street locales in Centretown.


These two were taken in Dundonald Park in Centretown, always a good spot for fall colours.


This one was near my home in Old Ottawa South.


And I'll finish today with this one, outside the Billings Bridge Mall.

  9. Great way to start with a comparison of light conditions. Yes, you've got color. All our leaves have been gone for a few weeks.

  11. Lovely autumnal shots, William. But that lone fisherman on that piece of glass is perfection. It would really look good hanging on a wall.

  13. @Janis: much more to come.

    @Tex: that river scene were the first specific fall shots I took this year, aside from a couple of incidental shots on Green Island.

    @Red: here they've been a bit late this year.

    @Grace: and I'm still taking photos. Did more today.

    @Lowell: thank you!

    @Sharon: that would be weird to me!

  14. Really like that first shot! Any color we had has been blown off the trees by the wind & rain on Thursday & Friday.

  16. Nice fall shots. I like the fisherman shot with the water so still. I think our fall will be very short. It started late, but suddenly many of the trees are bare from recent high winds.

  26. @RedPat: we've lost a good deal of them by now.

    @Linda: thanks!

    @Whisk: it is a great time of year.

    @Catalyst: some different trees though.

    @Mari: they certainly are.

    @Lois: much more to come.

    @Beth: climate and elevation can both be factors.

    @Cloudia: it's seemed to be a good year this year, which surprises me given the drought we had over the summer.
