Autumn in the town

I had planned on going out an about looking for autumn colours when I was off this week.
The woods are all decked out in golds, russets and browns, but the combination of a
head cold and wet days meant that I spent most of the week at home.
Met a friend in a new coffee shop which has opened in town. This building across
the road caught my eye as I was waiting for her to arrive. I just wish the Town Council
gave a little more thought to where they place street furniture like parking meters and bins.
Our urban landscapes are becoming littered with them.

The fall leaves are gorgeous and their color blends so nicely with the home. An beautiful photo. Hope you are getting over your cold.

It is annoying but the box in no way has altered the beauty of this scene. V

Agree with your point about steet furniture and meters, they're never in sympathy with their surroundings. Nice shot though! V

We have the same plant on our house but the leaves went a few weeks ago. Lovely shot apart from the blot.

Yes, this house clothed in a beautiful, new gown, BV

Lovely colors and a satisfying composition. We'll just ignore the sign!

Still a great shot of the beautiful colour of the leaves on this vine. Well done.

Smart Town House adorned with that beautiful vine. As for street furniture - it's a menace for the most part!

Lovely shot despite the meter. Wonderful colours. V

Nicely cropped; keeps it to a nice, tight geometric pattern, with all roads leading the eye down to the saturated red door. The vignette works well to draw the eye in too.
Kevin Chester29-Oct-2010 23:12
well it matches his door well, even if for just a few weeks

A very beautiful find. We are all rewarded by your effort ~V~

Wonderful capture. The red tones are amazing. A little "Content-aware" fill would get rid of that sign! V

a jarring capture, the sign destroys the beautiful scene, just as you say, V
