Lovely to hear the pink-footed geese in the skies above Norfolk.

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.

There's something about backlit leaves. One from the local woodland a couple of weeks ago.

Some backlit beech leaves illuminated by some rays of afternoon sunshine coming through between long dark tree trunks.

#Autumn in Saint-Nicolas 🍂
#Scape #Landscape

#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.

Photograph of Stonehenge under a twilight sky with a sequence of six moons in different phases arcing above the ancient stones. The moons progress from a waxing crescent on the left through a reddish lunar eclipse in the middle to a waning crescent on the right. The foreground features dark grassy plains, with a faint path leading toward the monument, and the sky glows with deep purples and warm orange near the horizon.
