I prefer taking the road less travelled when I’m in my autumn-mobile. 😊🍂

Driving down a winding country road during autumn. The leaves are changing colours, and there are mountains and trees in the distance. The sky is blue with several clouds.

It’s Friday so it’s time for a #scape I’m going with another Autumnal one. Have a great day wherever you are in the world. 🌍 #photography #EastCoastKin

A gentle hillside covered in golden grass and tall trees with autumn foliage, their leaves glowing in warm amber tones as sunlight filters through the canopy. The soft light and upward view create a peaceful woodland scene filled with warmth and quiet beauty.

#Autumn in Saint-Nicolas 🍂
#Scape #Landscape
#ForestFriday #Trees
#Mountain #Alps

Saint-Nicolas is a village in the Aosta Valley at 1200m above sea level with a population of 332 people.
The image shows a forest with trees in typical autumn colors, with leaves ranging from green to deep yellow. In the background, a snow-capped mountain and the village bell tower stand under a partly cloudy sky. A green meadow in the foreground contrasts with the warmer colors of the forest.

Finding the way through a forest of oak trees.

A trail wraps along the side of a hill while long oak tree branches reach out and form an arch over the trail. There are lighter green trees in the background and hazy sun. The ground is covered with fallen oak leaves. King Trail in the Irish Hills of San Luis Obispo, California

Here's one for the #ColorADay theme #BWFri and #scape and #ForestFriday! That's what we Canucks call a Hat Trick! Haha🇨🇦🤣❤️🤍❤️

Yes, three times you scored,
With each shot upon me,
You I further adored"

In black and white, shadows and light, create such an alluring sight. Though the wind beaten coastal trees, atop an eroding cliffside, the rising sun radiates. The Pacific Ocean shines as bright as the star that kisses it. A feeling of hope, through this disarming beauty, washes over me in moments like these.

This ancient giant guards the entrance to Jervaulx Abbey.
Contrary to the optical illusion here, this tree stump's massive!

This black and white photograph captures a striking tree stump in the park-like setting of JervaulxAbbe's outergrounds. The stump, positioned slightly off-centre to the right, is the dominant subject. Its base is thick and gnarled, with roots visible at the ground level, giving it a strong, established presence. The trunk rises and then angles sharply to the left, where it has been cleanly cut, revealing the inner rings of the wood. The texture of the bark is highly detailed, showing deep vertical fissures and rugged, weathered patterns that are emphasised by the monochrome palette. Sunlight appears from the left, casting a strong shadow to the right and highlighting the rough surfaces of the stump.
To the left of the main stump, a smaller, darker piece of wood rests on the grass. This piece is a hollowed-out section of log with a dark opening that contrasts with its solid, textured exterior. It sits low to the ground, appearing as a companion to the larger stump.
The background of the image features a grassy pastoral field, which is slightly out of focus, suggesting a shallow depth of field. A paved path curves gently from the middle ground toward the background on the right side of the frame. Beyond the field, a line of mature trees with dense foliage forms a natural boundary. A distant park bench is faintly visible under the trees on the right. The sky above is partially visible, with soft, diffuse clouds that add a sense of atmosphere. The overall tone of the image is one of quiet solitude, with the monochrome filter lending a timeless and slightly somber quality to the scene. The focus is clearly on the textures and forms of the natural elements, particularly the weathered wood in the foreground, which stands as a testament to the tree's former life. The composition draws the eye from the foreground details of the stumps to the receding lines of the path and the background trees, creating a sense of depth and space within the tranquil environment.

Railings, a path, and some trees. The leaves on the trees are changing to autumn colours. Beyond the trees are some buildings. The sky is a mass of grey cloud.

Wishing you all a great weekend 🙂
With a #scape for #Friday
This is looking from #Portstewart towards #Castlerock, with the Mussenden Temple just visible on the distant headland.
#landscape #seascape #cloudscape #EastCoastKin #NorthernIreland #Ireland

With rocks and a small stream in the foreground, an area of wet sand is visible. Light from a gap in the clouds is reflected from the wet sand.
Beyond the small beach are more rocks with, in the distance, a headland with the Mussenden Temple just visible at the tip of the headland.
There are threatening grey clouds, with a small patch of blue sky. The gap in the clouds allows the sun to shine on the distant headland.
