"Here They Fell"
Here are some recent photos of the last of the autumnal landscapes.
All three images were in fact taken under the boughs of the same giant oak tree, almost entirely bare of leaves. An overcast sky, scores of dry, rusty leaves, and a temperature nigh on freezing all contributed to provide a marvellous shooting session.
I like to imagine the leaves represent fallen heroes, lying in a sea of fellow comrades, left in the wake of some terrible tragedy, forgotten and lost in some lovely, faraway land.
