An autumn woodland scene. There are brown leaves covering the woodland floor. This is taken from the highest part of the woodland and we can see glimpses of the oldest part of the woodland from there. The trees have a range of autumn colours on their leaves.

This is one of my favourite images. I really like how the sunshine is braking through the trees and in the mid-distance is really brightening the woodland floor, and catching its uneven surface. The sunshine is also catching the yellow and brown leaves and they look as if they are on fire the colour is so strong and vibrant. In the foreground we see that the trees have nearly lost all their leaves and are looking very structural.

While out for a walk along a beach I came across the most wonderful piece of geology which I had to photograph. This is a piece of rock which is built up by a sequence of different rock layers, giving a range of colours. The rocks have then been tilted.
