The stark contrast of Autumn colour

A processed monochrome shot of a tree I used to walk past every day when a schoolboy, walking down from John Hanson to my father's shop behind the Station Hotel for a lift home when he had finished work.

A full colour of the same shot, I have only slightly tweaked the colours & contrast with Snapseed & Paintshop Pro, very beautiful even today without much sunshine. Lot's of the leaves have dropped, but still a load more to go.

I've used Snapseed on the iPad for a while, but was very unhappy to see Google had withdrawn the Windows version, fixed that problem now though!

Autumnal walk at RHS Wisley

Last visit here was in May, much quieter today. The colours were lovely, still quite a few things in blossom. I'm still discovering new areas of the gardens to explore, even after half a dozen visits.

The last of the fruit on the tree's, free pickings of the windfallen fruit could be had.

Restaurants were busy, but efficient service was had. Food as always was excellent, and actually not too expensive. Lot's of nice Christmas present idea's on show & the bookshop as always had a couple of stunning garden books to add to the collection of coffee table titles.
