Autumn Splendor

In some areas of Northern Michigan we are getting our best fall colors in years. The weather when I took this was rain, sleet, sun all at one time. I did some burning of the sky, but those clouds were really quite ominous as they are lake effect clouds. Yes, I know that there are a few close aspen along the lower edge, but I was on the edge of a steep bank and shooting between trees. That, and I do not mind having something to show the perspective. Oh yeah, tough to reduce the file size to fit the specs. so the jpg compression is probably going to be obvious.

A fantastic ocean of colors! The light brings them out effectively.

Looks like a banner year for sure Tom! Love the wide, expansive view, especially in the larger version.

I'm so envious of the color - it's still a long way off here in the deep south. Beautiful vista Tom.
