Second Colour Expedition, Part 2

We turned off concession 7b onto Bellamy Mills Road. This is also an autumn drive that we've repeated for the past few years. It's different from 7b, at least in the first section — quite tree-lined and shady. This is a somewhat typical section.

Aside from the occasional glimpse like the one above, most of the colour was off to the sides, where background trees were catching the light behind the shadier foreground trees. Although it was brilliant to see, I don't find it easy to capture in a photograph, but, with the help of post editing to balance the light and shade, one does try one's best to share the local geography with others.

This is another photo looking into the bush with the orange trees being well backlit.


The other side of the road wasn't backlit, so the colour was not the same, but it still had something to offer.



Coming around a bend, a single tree caught my eye.


That was my last photo from along this road, for the scenery opened up after this, into somewhat more of a farmland than woodland environment.

  3. OOoh, you found a dead tree with it's sculpture. But the last is my fav. Of course I've got cataracts, so you could probably draw with crayons and I'd like it!

  11. Another wonderful excursion in which you have showcased some beautiful colors of autumn, John. There has been a couple of days of rain and some wind here, which will either result in a few more days of foliage or will have dispersed some of the leaves.
