Atmosphere, Colour and the incoming elements of Winter.

Already we are into the middle of November, and it was a conversation a little while ago, that I had with the fantastic Nottingham based landscape photographer, Craig Yates, who simply said something to the following effect,

"November is still Autumn, at least for the first two to three weeks, the third week of November is when we will more than likely see the last part of Autumn, before the more muddy, grey, bland elements take over and the colour of Autumn finally disappears."

And he certainly was not wrong at all, it was just a few days ago that I had ended up heading past the historic Beauvale Priory, and to the top of the strangely named, New Road, in Moorgreen, and at the top of New Road, what can be found? Woodland, yes Woodland that always throughout the year seems spectacular to capture, even from the side of the road, and this time around was the first time since mid Autumn that I had visited, and what did I notice this time around? Well an atmosphere, yes the weather was not fantastic, but the woodland seemed moody, the colours of Autumn - questionable, and whilst I did come across some Autumn colours, what I saw was the last embers of Autumn, and instead a woodland with the incoming elements of Winter, which could be felt, and below are the photos that I had managed to come away with. 

"Fading from Autumn to Winter and Bland."

"As Green and Colour Fades Away."

"Delicate Colours of Autumn Fade."

"As the last embers of Autumn Glow."

"Gold, Green and Trunks."

"As the final symphony of Autumn Colour gives way, to a Woodland Winter KInd of Grey."

"Colour and Bare as the Eye can See."

"The Final Strand of Autumn Gold."

"Shimmering Delicate Strands."
