It has been a long , reasonable pleasant summer this year, which did not bode well for production regarding landscape photography with the harsh white sunlight and the amount of low contrast green about.
Softer warmer , end of summer light...
However, all that is about to change, and the signs are seen here in this mornings shoot on Loch Ard, in the Trossachs...
Subtle changes in the foliage and the light...
...early fern colour changes, warmer and lower light and the touch of subtle colour changes in the leaves, grasses and end of season wildflowers...
Wildflower and grasses colour muted at the end of season...
...a promise of a colourful autumn and the awakening of the hibernating photographers who seem to rise from their summer slumber at this time of year...
