A lovely walk at Kirkstall Abbey today. Cold air and warm sun, the best combination. The light is lower and brighter, the shadows long even at midday. There are more bare branches now, more leaves on the ground than the trees. It's damp underfoot and my feet were cold. It smells like autumn.
It would seem that the cold is creeping in quite quickly up there in the northern hemisphere!!! Down here in the south, we are having the most glorious summer weather!!! Hope you have a happy weekend!!

Lovely photos Gillian and the weather must have really turned for you since we got back to Oz. We drove past the Abbey many times on our way home to my brother-in-laws, but didn't stop off this time, although I have been before. Take care.
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to be outside today--bright sunshine, mild weather. We were at the botanical garden this morning and I noticed too that there were more leaves on the ground than on the trees! Love the photo of the abbey against the blue sky. x
ReplyDeleteLovely photos Gillian. We had the first dry day in a while today but I didn't take my camera. Typical. x
ReplyDeleteLovely autumnal photos. The leaves from our walnut tree are really falling now but they smell wonderful as we sweep them up!

I was last at Kirkstall over 10 years ago when I lived in Yorkshire, its a lovely place to visit.

No sun here. Mist and murk all the way. Beautiful shots. That golden light. Sigh.

ReplyDeleteGreat pictues, very atmospherical! I've taken one of my shadow very similar to yours only two weeks ago when I was walking around the island of Lindau, on Lake Constance :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, the light is beautiful. We've been lucky with the weather in London at the beginning of the week but grey skies are definitely here today!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful autumn light, it looks like a wonderful day. I'm hoping for a glimpse of sun today. Last night was the murkiest night imaginable, just right for almost-Hallowe'en. CJ xx
