It is the countdown to Christmas and everyone is busy shopping, going to concerts, baking, and going to special events. These activities seem to be excellent distractions from the loss of our beautiful fall colours and glowing landscapes.
These two pictures show the entrance to one of the Royal Botanical Gardens hiking trails. They were taken just over a month apart, and with similar light in the sky. But how the autumn colours make everything glow and how the winter sky and sombre reduced colour palatte makes for a stark comparison.
Of course, we will next experience Winter in Niagara. The colour palette will reduce to the point where the images are black and white naturally. It is a significant contrast to the many colours and hues of summer and autumn. Of course, we then experience the cycle anew and our glorious spring returns.
