Tall Trees Soaring. #autumnvibes #forestphotography #treescape #goldenhour #naturelover #fallcolors #canopy #woodland #naturephotography #scenicview #autumnleaves #smartphonephotography #photography
A low-angle vertical photograph looking straight up into a dense forest canopy during autumn. Tall, dark tree trunks stretch towards the sky, silhouetted against a bright, hazy sky. The upper branches are filled with brilliant orange and gold foliage, creating a warm, vibrant ceiling against the pale blue and white sky peeking through. Sunlight filters directly through the trees and leaves near the centre of the frame, casting a warm glow.

The Cascade Waterfall, Windsor Great Park

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekRforRock
#PhotographersOfBlueSky
#ColorADay #GreenSat
#EastCoastKin
A cascading waterfall flows over multiple tiers of dark, mossy rocks surrounded by lush greenery. Ferns and plants grow thickly at the base, and tall trees with vibrant green leaves arch overhead, filtering sunlight through the canopy. The water gathers in a small, calm pool at the bottom, creating a serene and picturesque woodland scene under a clear blue sky. This is the Cascade Waterfall in Windsor Great Park, a beautifully landscaped feature that adds to the park’s tranquil and natural charm. Windsor Great Park dates back over 900 years, originally serving as a royal hunting ground for William the Conqueror. Over time, it evolved into a grand landscaped parkland and today remains part of the Crown Estate, offering visitors a glimpse of its rich royal and natural heritage.
