Autumn colours and winter arriving

With Winter arriving and Autumn passing, the colours are changing. We have a beautiful sunny crisp day today after some snow yesterday. It was so cold, but I love how the landscape is transformed by snow. Everything looks so black and white when there is a grey sky and it unifies everything. Then the colour returns with a blue sky contrasted against the monotone. As it's only mid November there are still some leaves on the trees, and this made for a wonderful contrast, giving splashes of colour in an otherwise monotone scene when the sky was grey.

This photo is from a few days ago. I was standing at the bus stop and noticing the amazing colours of the leaves against the wet pavement at my feet. The leaves gave such a great bright colourful contrast in yellow and green to the dark red pavement. I love the way the bus stop pavement writing still shows despite the paint having worn away, a ghost of past letters.  A moment of visual inspiration on a dull damp day.
