A walk on a bike path led to an irresistible dark tunnel...

@ttomasso: It was autumn - we have frosts and the deciduous trees flood the city with colour. Thanks for commenting ttomasso!

@Riya: Thanks Riya! I enjoyed your pictures of Planet Blackburg - so lovely and green - ours is a much browner land.

L.Reis from Lisbon, Portugal

You have quite an amazing set of wonderful shots in your blog. Congrats!
This one is the perfect metaphor for the expression:The light at the end of the tunnel...in this case it's the light and the landscape. :) Very nice job!

@L.Reis: You're very kind indeed. I love taking photos - my dad was a photographer who had to make a living for our family from taking portraits, weddings etc He always wanted to try photography as art, but never really had that opportunity so I think of him now as I'm lucky to be free to do it. Thanks for visiting!

Sash from Adelaide, Australia

We had those colours in my parts about two weeks ago. The transition of autumn into the onset of winter is a beautiful thing.

PS The perspective / composition here is excellent. :)

@Sash: Adelaide's lovely. Thanks for your comment! I notice we use the same camera too - I'm really enjoying mine - what do you think of it?

Seraphine from San Francisco, United States

I hate tunnels. I'll make an exception to yours. It's beautiful.

@Seraphine: Without the darkness the light would overwhelm...
Thanks again for your comment.

Sash from Adelaide, Australia

Regarding your comment to my comment above: I think it's great now because I know a bit more about what I'm doing. At first I didn't like it at all because every photo I took seemed to show a lot of noise (pixelation), but now that I'm more aware of the functionality, I use the Manual (M) setting for everything, I think I'm on top of what the settings ought to be. I'm sure you're already aware of this but it has an excellent macro setting for taking those flower shots you - and I - like so much. :)

@Sash: I'm exactly the same - the more I learn about the manual possibilities the more I like it. Its zoom is great for birds and the macro for our flowers and fungi so it's a slight compromise but the best digital and a step or 2 up from my old Canon. I love having simple manual focus! Thanks for your reply.
