My apologies! I called you "Bossel" instead of "Bonneville."I wrote:Very nice Bossel! The direct sunlight is a bit harsh, but it does make the trees "pop," and I love the deep stormy grey sky!

I like your original: with its moodiness and soft colours. It's serene and relaxing just as autumn is...![]()

Well if that is so it's a great shame ...I could be wrong, but it appears to me as if the OP has deleted *all* of the images he has posted to these forums.
...and peeps thought I may be a touch on the sensitive side.
Perthshire, I suspect, possibly the Birks of Invermay (also a beautiful fiddle tune). Perthshire is known for autumn the same way New England colours are known in the states and they do tourist packages to catch it - our own Duncan McEwan does an annual photo break around that location. But I'd say this picture was far too light as well as too pink, much of it is clipped or burned out.Sonolta wrote:This Scottish dude must have been seeing things, eh?![]()

Yes, I got their press releases when all this was started. It does not always go the way they hope for colour, which is why so many of their photos are old and such a mixture. Also, a lot of it is completely misleading. I know several of the local forests well and if you want autumn colour in the Borders, you do NOT head for Glentress or anywhere remotely similar - they are monoculture pinewood forestry, and the best you can hope for in colour is a few oaks and beeches in remaining hardwood stands, and a scattering of larch amongst the spruce and fire. Glentress is dark, exceptionally difficult for photography, wonderful as a mountain bike trail. They have many similar mentions because this is, after all, the Forestry Commission - the people who planted entire hillside with spruce and not a hint of species diversity for decades of mismanagement.Sonolta wrote:Looks like ol' Charlie found at least few scenes that were not all *reddish*...![]()
I guess you know/knew about this page?
