The Darkness Descends

The nights are really starting to draw in now and will soon be dark when I go and come back from work (even after the clocks change).

Still, autumn is not all doom and gloom - with all the leaves falling from the trees the streets really are paved with gold (and brown, green, etc!)

Messing around the other night, I took some shots of these leaves which had landed on my decking covering some of the lights. Thought it was a bit different from the usual shots of autumn leaves.

Autumn Colours

I have always liked Autumn in the UK with all the variety of colours with leaves on the ground and dramatic skies and sunsets. It almost makes the bleak winter that's approaching a little more bearable.

After a very poor summer weather wise here it's good that we are now getting a bit of sporadic sunshine before the cold sets in.
