Autumn's Glory - a photo on Flickriver

Autumn's Glory

            Autumn produces an array of awe inspiring colour changes and the light loses the intensity of summer to take on an altogether more subtle quality as exemplified in this enriching scene at St Dominick in South East Cornwall last year. Here, the gold of the backlit trees was accentuated by the glow of the early afternoon sun as Mother Nature proudly showed off the beauty of the season to all who passed by....

It is the time of year when inspirational and uplifting sights such as this evoke glorious moments, yet these very moments are bittersweet, brought about by the knowledge that the leaves experience their magical changes as they prepare to die in a blaze of glory and that the branches are shedding them in preparation for the dark days of winter ahead.

As the year turns through its continuous cycle, the patterns, rhythms and moods of nature prove to be a continuing source of inspiration to me and, at the same time, evoke thoughts of the close relationship with mother earth, the seasons and the passage of time which was once held so dear by our ancestors. At times like this, it is hard not to think of how different their view and understanding of the life spirit of the land was from the mercenary, materialistic and often exploitative one that exists within the soullessness of the modern world.....
