Forest On Fire, Last Days Of The Leaves On The Path

by Jon Katz
The Last Days Of The Leaves

It felt as if the forest were on fire today, the last burst of glory of the leaves, who become so beautiful when they die. Fire is a hard word these days, so many people out west are suffering from the real thing, but as I walked down the long deep path in the woods today, it felt like I was witnessing the last beautiful outburst of the leaves, most of them fell while we were in New Mexico.

It was a riotous blur, it enveloped the path with red and yellow and greet, it seemed an altar of trees was waiting for us at the end of the path.

On the path downhill, it felt as the leaves were signing off with glory, my Petzval art lens caught the feeling for me.

  1. Jon, this is an amazing photo. It really draws me in and gives a sense of movement through the trees as if I were there. Thank you; it was a nice image to wake up to.

  2. This photo is just beautiful. I love the contrast of color, but am especially mesmerized by the feeling in the center. It almost gives the illusion of a beautiful pathway door to another adventure!! Autumn is my very favorite time of year. Living in So. California that season I do not get to see. Thanks, Jon. Your photograpy brings such enjoyment to my life. I get a chance to travel from my tablet to many places from my own livingroom!!
