Comment: I waited until the right day to get this shot, raining and misty as I have always thought the fall colours remind me of the very flames that once burned this part of tthe swamp. The grain applied to me represents the ash. I hope you enjoy it.

This is very dramatic. I love it! It has a desolate look to it, but the beautiful colors on the ground give it punch and pop. This would make a really nice framed print on a man's office wall -- or a masculine living room. Beautiful job!
