Tuesday the 12th of November 2024, Finding the serene and the calm, The colours from above for they cling on, but only just. A short flight above Mapperley Reservoir.

Autumn eh, if there is one way to sum it up for this year it would quite simply be the following,

"A Short, Sharp Quick Shock of Opulent and Delightful Colours."

But despite Autumn of 2024 being somewhat short, at least it has delivered, with some truly glorious scenes and colours, that have also been rather interesting to try to capture - and that of course might be due to the slightly "sporadic" elements that this Autumn has bought along with it, in some places greenery, in other places glorious artistic and opulent colours, but when that Short, Sharp Quick Shock came about, well the colours this year seemed even more spectacular! Still though it was last week when I had visited Sherwood Forest, and a couple of days after that Blidworth Woods, and from down below what had I seen, perhaps the last of the Autumn Colours, from ground level, but from above though, looking down on the landscape - well that is a completely different story, and it was on Tuesday the 12th of November 2024, that a trip to Shipley Country Park took place, but this time a unique and delightful small walk around the banks of Mapperley Reservoir, located just a short distance away from Mapperley Village; down below at ground level, things looked different, a lack of colour, and when there was colour, it was sporadic, for here the transition from opulent Autumn Colours to Winter's bare elements was taking place, but I could see that the tops of the trees did still have colour, but how was I going to capture that colour, the end of Autumn. Well the simple answer to that was to send the drone up, and what I managed to find was serene and calming, the colours from above still clinging on, and yet down below on the ground, well it goes without saying "That the best of Autumn, seems to be over."

"Reservoir Gold."

"The last of Autumn Gold, for Arts cling on for now."

"The water, The Colour, and elements of Patchwork Green."

"Water Colour."

"Patchworks of Green, and The Opulent Colours of Autumn, for they just remain for now."

"The Pathway below, The last of Autumn Painted from above."
