Autumn on the ground, Autumn from the air. A return to a park that I have not visited in a while, Heanor Memorial Park.

Upon first glances the Derbyshire town of Heanor might seem a little lets just say "ordinary looking." For it is a town that is situated at the top of a hill, aptly named Heanor Hill, but the town of Heanor itself, well it is located in a part of Derbyshire that is a little bit,

"Off the Tourist Track. For the town of Heanor itself is one that is built upon industry, and that industry of course is the industry that also existed at one time in and around its surroundings of the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border areas of The Erewash Valley, not to mention of course Shipley."

But of course the industry has gone, and instead now you are left with a town that is ordinary, that history can be seen - but sadly it seems quieter now that the old industry has gone, scars of old industry can still be seen as well. But despite Heanor seeming ordinary, when you delve deeper you can unearth and find out that it is anything but ordinary, and despite over the past year or so passing through Heanor, there is one location in Heanor that I had not visited for quite a while, and that of course is Heanor Memorial Park, a small but perfectly formed park that no matter what time of the year, always has a certain glow to it, the colours of the plants, and foliage of the trees, but this time around I wanted to do something a little bit different and that was to capture the glorious elements of Autumn from the ground, and here are those photographs that I had managed to capture, 

"The gentle elements of Autumn Glow."

"The Green Alien. The unusual elements of Fig."

"Autumn, Deep and Red."

"Layers, Elements, Beauty and Autumn."

"Parkland Light, the golden glow of Autumn."

"Autumn Layers, Autumn Colours a glow. The beauty of Acer."

"From Green, to Autumn, the colours of change, the arts of Autumn."

"Psychedelic Branches and Colours, a Portrait of Autumn."

"Autumn Parkland Glow."

"Pretty in Autumn Pink."

"Green, Yellow and Autumn Glow."

"Abstract Autumn Arts, the beauty of colours, and Layers."

But then of course I also wanted to try something a little different, and that was "to get a completely different perspective of Heanor Memorial Park, from the air" and how to do that? Well with a drone and again the drone not only allowed me to get some interesting perspectives of this delightful park from the air, but it also allowed me to capture the colours of Autumn on some trees, including a delightful and glorious Japanese Maple Tree/(Acer) again with some incredibly careful flying to enable the capturing of the abstract beauty of the colours of Autumn, from a slightly different angle as well, and below are the photos that I managed to capture with the drone. 

"The Light and the Town."

"Mood, Light and a Heanor Sense of Drama."

"The Abstract arts of the Autumn Memorial Park."

"Above the foliage of Autumn a Glow. The Memorial Park Below."

"Autumn Gold, a Tree a Glow."

"Elements and Colours."

"Shades and arts of Autumn Beauty."

"A Full Tree of Autumn Beauty."
