Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress.

I love the tree reaching out over the man-made structure

approaching gnarly time. best...jerry

The light on the scattered leaves is just magnificent, the remaining leaves on the foreground tree looks like scattered feathers (BTW I loved your feather image the other day, totally awesome)... this feels like an old church yard that has seen many families come and go in happiness and sorrow.. beginnings and ends and it tells a story all of its own, just brilliant BC!

I like that stone building. I'm waiting on the last leaves at my house so I don't have to clean them up.
19 Nov 2008 6:14am
I must say even though you shoot/edit in B&W you bring color(a warmth) to every picture. Stunning shot!
19 Nov 2008 6:24am
A beautiful autumnal shot bc, with lots of feeling and thought:-)
19 Nov 2008 7:25am
Oh WOW, and then double WOW!
To me you have brought so much detail to the frame in your choice of mono, and the wonderful lighting, which creates an ambience I feel wouldn't be there in colour. This is superb, so full of drama and texture, like a still from a film.
WOW.... and that's the third time!

Like this rectilinear pavement, continuous and directed towards the future; time sees spending the seasons and these effects (I still hope for a long time…) Once again your framing is perfect, and makes it possible to fix the discontinuous one in temporal flow Bravo ;)

it's amazing how the earth cleans up such a mess of leaves, or us rakers do.. my mom would be pissed at me if i was a tree and i left leaves everywhere hehe... great shot as usual darling
19 Nov 2008 10:51am
I like how the leaves are trying, without much success, to cover over the hard edges in this scene. Nice shot.
19 Nov 2008 12:24pm
another wonderful capture and processing, I like how to me the tree seems to be reaching and trying to obscure the building, beautiful textures and tones, awesome work again

What I love here is how the art creations of nature and man complement each other so beautifully.
19 Nov 2008 12:50pm
One windy day and the season is all but gone . . I love this time of year when time becomes so visible . . perfect capture here.

i like the dramatic mood of this, it also retain the nice autumn features and texures.
great b/w
19 Nov 2008 2:19pm
A pretty composition that works well in b/w.
19 Nov 2008 2:37pm
I love old gnarly trees, this is so beautiful...as is the architecture!
19 Nov 2008 2:55pm
Splendid collection and great use of b/w. I like the framing of this one and the light of the fallen leaves.
19 Nov 2008 4:57pm
Great shot, the leaves on the ground takes it up a couple of notches. Great job :)
19 Nov 2008 5:14pm
I've just been looking through your portfolio. You have some rocking fine photos -- love the b & w work, in particular. This one has a nice, moody look.
19 Nov 2008 5:25pm
I heart black and white and this is fantastic stuff. Nice shot!
19 Nov 2008 8:20pm
Nice composition, a bit dark BW to mee
19 Nov 2008 8:57pm
Perfect B&W process in this lovely shot !
19 Nov 2008 11:05pm
Thank you for leaving such nice comments on my site today. Your images are fantastic. Very dramatic and powerful. I will be a regular from now on.
19 Nov 2008 11:25pm
wonderful. the fallen leaves are almost like little puddles in the way they reflect the light.
20 Nov 2008 12:18am
Very familiar theme. Beautiful, gloomy, (for me) nostalgic!
20 Nov 2008 1:12am
You have a great picture here, made perfect by the accompanying Dickens quote.
20 Nov 2008 3:14am
@Viewfinder: Ah thank you!
The time has come where we've lost nearly all of our autumnal colors and the trees are shedding their last leaves. Winter is breathing down our necks. Should we fight it any longer?
20 Nov 2008 3:20am
@Sean: No...just let it happen :)
Thanks Sean.
I really like the composition, with the road moving through the image and the building stopping the image. A nice combination.
20 Nov 2008 3:47am
Great shot really like the b&w here, nice composition with the sidewal leading in the picture :)
20 Nov 2008 5:21am
Entrancing -- as all your images are. This is a beautiful black and white study.
20 Nov 2008 10:55am
My last comment on previous post, should be on this one, sorry!
20 Nov 2008 6:43pm
gorgeous, empty grounds -- naturally littered with the yellow / orange / crimson bounty of the bushes and trees. i am loving that diagonal streak -- beautiful light and tonalities here BC!! marvelous!!
21 Nov 2008 6:28pm
Beuatiful composition for this shot. Very good!
