Autumn pictures

Post by Big Jim » Wed Oct 25, 2017 6:54 pm

Ahh, the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness.
Do any of us have some nice autumnal pics they would like to share?

Hi Jim
My garden isn't looking that Autumnal at the moment, but I had a running session yesterday with my NZ visitor and tinkered with one of the shots to give it an Autumnal feel. Ahhhh, the wonders of digital photography. :)

That is a lovely picture Rik, it would make a nice card... (almost included the dreaded word, Christmas!)
The best things in life are free.... so why am I doing this?

Definite need for a leaf blowing truck there!
Where did I put that uncoupler?

Lovely picture Rik. I agree with Peter, it does have that 'end of the year' feel.

My terminus station site looks very much like Phillip's at the moment, I always knew that siting it under the creeper was an issue! :bom:

Crisp Autumn day here, if it wasn't for work I could think of better things to do...

Great pictures, particularly the last one where you can see the driver and the glow of the cab light.

Ditto

I must get some more colourful autumnal plants. Most of mine are evergreen.

Wow, there are some nice and atmospheric shots here so far. I must get around to building a railway.

All those fallen leaves but no evidence of 'leaves on the line'. Maybe you can sell your secret to Network Rail !

Those Acers look great - mine have already lost their leaves in the recent chill in the South east (reaches for his scarf)
Where did I put that uncoupler?

Very atmospheric. I pity the poor chap sat on that cold rock, that does not bode well for long term happiness. Still at least his troubles will be behind him :D

I cleaned the leaves manually during the weekend. There are 3 large trees in the area, they provided excellent shade during hot Summer time but in the Autumn, we have to clean the leaves every weekend. In the past, I used a blower but I found my figures also disappeared because of that.
