Stunning: the colors of Autumn are so rich
there. Moreover, I adore how the tree
branches intertwine.
Really enjoying to see the world through
your eyes, Ralph.

I thought this was a cave when i first saw it
in the thumbnail.. i really like this one...
it in a way has a sense of romance becuase of
the benches and the symmetry, the way it
seems like everything is in pairs,
beautifully photographed Ralph! :o)

Love this composition! I have a similar
shot, but couldn't figure out how to make it
more powerful... until I saw yours. I think
you've capture the essence of fall - a bit of
melancholy, loss, but with the hope of
rebirth with that sunlight.

i love this location. should i ever find my
way to your area, i would certainly go here
and know that this is "ralph's
spot" - i have loved watching the
seasons come and go in this particular place.
it would seem fittting, that since these
benches have seen so many times what your
eyes have seen, that perhaps one day, this
might make a good photo spot for some little
ones........ ;)

This is so poetic. A quiet place for two!
I love that your photographed this when the
trees are bare...there is just something
magical about bare trees. They way their
branches (like fingers) caress each other,
and those that come into their path.
They hold you close.. :)
