Algonquin Autumn

A few years ago I, once again, spent a week in Algonquin Park and photographed the colours of Fall.
You can sit there and look at the many shades of Green and Gold and finally Red and marvel at the beauty of this colourful Season.
                 Instead of talking about it, let me show it to you.


The rock formations of the Canadian Shield
allow the growth of coniferous as well as deciduous trees
neatly rooted in small cracks in which the seeds found enough protection to sprout seedlings which send their roots out
 and finally encircle the rock.



The Mizzy Lake Trail leads in part along 
a long abandoned railroad track, 
with small ponds on either side.  
Now and then a colourful young maple tree,
just to add to the painter's or photographer's joy.


What more do you want ?
