Combs Lane (November 2021)

Sometimes I question why I take my camera out each day and photographs the same locations, thinking that I might need a new challenge. Then, a photograph comes along that provides a good enough answer to make it worthwhile. 

Such an opportunity came along at the end of November, the day after some early snowfall. There was a break in the cloud lighting up the end of season colour on a oak tree near to Combs Lane - the tinge of autumn colour working well against the blue sky behind with the tree framed by the incline of the field and the angle of the cloud:

Although the sunlight didn’t last long there was enough time for few additional shots of the early snow:

Stepping back a couple of weeks I captured some of the autumnal scenes around Combs Lane. The lime trees where almost at the end of their season with only a few leaves still remaining, whilst some of oak trees had only just started changing colour. In the late afternoon sunlight some of the more colourful oaks, and a very large beech tree, radiated a vibrant auburn hue - including another shot of the oak tree I had captured on the day after the snowfall:
