Leaves Trace - a photo on Flickriver

Leaves Trace

            The trace of a departed autumn leaf on a concrete sidewalk.

walk a lot, and I always carry a camera. At a minimum I have my smart phone, but most of the time I have a “real” camera in my bag. I don’t always photograph when I’m on walks, but from time to time I spot something that interests me. This was one of those times. Recent rains had leached the colors out of fallen leaves, staining the sidewalk with their autumn colors.

This photograph is a bit difficult to categorize. In a sense it is a “autumn photograph,” since the subject derives from that season’s leaves. But I made it in winter after those leaves had time to stain the concrete. In addition I’m not sure if it is an urban/street photograph or a photograph of nature. In the end, perhaps it doesn’t matter — it is just a photograph.
