Early morning con trails over Trent Park are always good for a picture. This, yesterday morning at 07:30 am seemed to show a gigantic letter T in the sky.
Here in the UK at 2:00 am, the clocks went back one hour. As a result, I was able to do my morning walk in Trent Park a little bit earlier than usual and was therefore able to appreciate the lovely autumn foliage. As Sir Walter Scott so aptly put it: Breathes there the man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land!

The fall colours are almost finished here in Ontario. These shots are from one of my favourite places in the province........Algonquin Park. It's a wilderness area 2 hours north of Toronto and covering an area roughly 3 times the size of Luxembourg. Within a month, all these scenes will be pure white. View attachment 40969

Drew, No, unfortunately my pics are not of sufficient quality to post here so I gathered some representative views. I have never brought my SLR into Algonquin for the simple reason that it's a little too bulky with the telephoto lense. We travel by canoe and everything we need must fit into a backpack. A compromise intended to keep my back from breaking so I make do with an inexpensive 'point and shoot'. Over the years, I've developed a 'standard' packing list for our canoe trips and it now runs to approx. 150 individual items. That is both small and large and including food.
ok, a few of mine then on the M62 heading back to Hull http://www.flickr.com/photos/billand/4775253930/ Whitby Abbey http://www.flickr.com/photos/billand/4487291221/ Cleethorpes and 'war of the wars' http://www.flickr.com/photos/billand/4672720146/in/set-72157614939786648/

Usually every other morning, shortly after 07:00 hrs, I stretch my legs for a hour in local Trent Park, just 15 mtes away from my home. At this time of the year (when it's not raining) the early morning sunlight just fills the avenue with a brilliant light and if you want to take a snap you have to make sure that the sun is blocked by a nearby tree. As below, Good shot Ron. Quite the photographer!

Great photo. That brings back memories of my mountaineering days. Great place Chamonix, but bloody expensive. First arrived there in August 1977 with a few of the lads from 1 Para mountaineering Club. Did Mont Blanc with an officer called Peter Sergeant--Lieutenant Sergeant! Great days. Len
