Saturday the 2nd of November 2024. An Autumn flight with Abstract arts at Greasley Church.

Well then November, you have seemingly come around again rather quickly, yes it really is amazing how fast the year goes by, but the start of November has been somewhat "meh, grey and dull." But with that in mind, you can find colour within the meh, grey and dull drab weather that has become the subtle introduction to November, and where to go? Well a grey Saturday afternoon meant that I wanted to try to find some colour in the landscape, and with that, the historic 15th century Greasley Church in Nottinghamshire, a Church that no matter what the season is, always looks photogenic, even with the light not being perfect, but what I came across was perhaps the peak of Autumn colours, just about clinging on. 

"Finding the colour, the trees and fields under the grey of a Greasley Sky."

"Arts of Autumn, surround the Church."

"Perhaps the peak of Autumn, The Fields as they stretch onwards."

"Just framed in Colour."

"The last of the Colour that surrounds the Autumn of Greasley."

And then of course an idea came into my head, located within the Churchyard at Greasley are some truly delightful Cherry Tree's that in the Spring, are awash with colour, awash with the glorious and opulent pink Cherry Blossoms - but in the Autumn? Well again colour, only this time I decided to try something a little more abstract, and to capture the beautiful warming Autumnal tones that these trees have, and below are those results - what do you think of them?

"The Autumn Glow."

"Patterns, Shapes and Autumn Abstracts."

"Forms and Autumn Abstracts, a Beauty of the Palette of Autumn glow."

Friday the 1st of November 2024, As I noticed the light changing outside, a split second decision was made, and in the end what I came across was a delightful work of Autumn Art.

Autumn, a season of colour and a season of surprises and delights and one of those "Autumnal Surprises" happened yesterday afternoon, it was coming up to 16:40pm, the November afternoon drawing to a close and when I looked outside, what should I notice? The sky becoming more watercolour or even pastel like, a strange pink hue and I knew that a split second decision would enable me to capture this glorious Sunset from above. I got the drone out and it goes without saying that I was completely left in awe at what I had just seen and encountered - which was quite probably, 

"One of the if not the best sunsets that I have ever seen, with the sky being a plethora, a mixture, a painting, an artwork of purple/pink/orange hues, and well nature was the artist creating this beautiful and delightful work of art."

"In a purple rush."

"The Autumn Arts, the sky it Glows."

"Clouds, Patterns, Purple, The Orange and The Pink. A watercolour of the sky."

"Elements, the art of the Watercolour, perhaps Pastel Sky."

"Under the Watercolour Skies."

"When the sky, makes arts of the town. A Silhouette of beauty."

"Beauty and Silhouettes."

Wednesday the 30th of October 2024, A carpet of colour as far as the eyes can see - colours and the arts of Autumn from above "Moorgreen."

The road that leads from the Horse and Groom Pub, at Moorgreen towards Beauvale Priory is one that forms part of a "loop road." If you drive the full length of this road it eventually leads you back towards Watnall and Watnall Farm Shop, but the drive itself yes can be challenging but it is also vastly scenic with vistas and views over the rolling Nottinghamshire Countryside - from the New Road, side it is possible to see opulent views no matter what time of the year it is, over the rolling Nottinghamshire Countryside towards Derbyshire on the not too distant horizon, but it is also a road that over many years I have always enjoyed taking trips along, observing the views and the changes in the season. But it was on Wednesday the 30th of October 2024, that after a trip to the more northern parts of Nottinghamshire, to see the Autumn Colours, that I just had to head up New Road, past the Horse and Groom Pub and past Beauvale Priory to the woods at the top end of Moorgreen, I knew that there was going to be colour, Autumn colour, but this time around well I came across a carpet of colour as far as the eyes can see, and from above - the trees had an opulent and delightful artistic element to them, abstract yes, beautiful yes, and that is of course the magic of Autumn, it is a season that provides us with a much more "painted landscape." And below of course are the photos that I managed to capture.

"The carpet of colour. Green to Gold."

"Orange Twists, a seeping light."

"A painted woodland, the opulence of Autumn."

"Beauty of The Autumn Palette, the tops of the trees they glow." 

"Shades, Reds, Orange, Gold and Green."

"Autumn, a patchwork."

"A blanket of opulent Autumn colours, for they glow."

"In Autumn Layers, Colours of Arts below."

"Fields turn into Colour, The Abstracts of Art from Above."

"Seeking and finding the Autumn glow."

"Deep are the reds, opulent is the Autumn carpet."

"Art board of Autumn, delights and layers in colour."

"Just above, the carpet of Autumn Arts."

"Abstract elements of The Autumn Engine."

"Layers and beauty, Complexities of Colour and Trees, the mystery and beauty of Autumn."

"Autumn Elements, Abstract Beauty, a Colourful glow."

Sunday the 27th of October 2024, A look at the beauty of Abstract, a look at the arts of Autumn from a unique perspective.

When you think of the words, 

"Drone Photography."

What exactly does spring to mind? Photography that involves landscapes, sweeping vistas, views and dramas from above? Well initially yes it probably does do - but what happens when you decide to "experiment more with Drone Photography?" Well the answer is that you can end up with some incredibly unique compositions, abstract mainly and well abstract photography 

"That Autumn Fire."

"Autumn Symphony, Colours Glow."

"Seeking Gold."

"Autumn Stepping Stones."

"The Abstract, The Beauty, Contrasts of Autumn Fallen."

Monday the 21st of October 2024, Sometimes "You just see a chance." And have to capture the beauty of a painted sky from above.

October has been a month of well lets just say "Grey Skies, yet Surprises." But it was on Monday the 21st of October 2024, that I noticed something, after what had been a largely grey day, by the late afternoon/early evening the weather began to change and with that, a glorious slightly surreal sky could be seen, a slight pink hue in the clouds, and well I just had to capture it from a completely different perspective, and from above, well I was looking at artwork, a delightful painted sky with watercolour like elements to them, truly magical and a delight to see.

"Pastel Skies, a Pastel Beauty."

"From Pink to Orange."

"The Glow, the Pastel views towards The Valley."

"Seeking the artwork of the sky, finding beauty, Pink, Orange and Yellow they Glow."

Saturday the 19th of October 2024, When the sky turns gold and the landscape and urban areas light up.

"Ah what is that? Decent weather again, clear skies and a certain element of warmth before Storm Ashley?" 

Well that was the case on Saturday the 19th of October 2024, and again the weather was actually decent yet again after what had been a week of grey and miserable, damp weather conditions, but as the last light on Saturday afternoon began to draw to a close, I knew that there was going to be a glorious Autumnal light, and there was, I got the drone airborne and what I managed to capture was just something so serene, the Autumnal sun setting on a unique landscape in which suburban townscapes meld gently into the surrounding countryside, that over the years have been shaped by industry. 

"A golden glow alight the town."

"On the cusp."

"The Silence and Beauty of the Evening Glow."

Thursday October the 17th, After a week of grey, a glorious golden October light had returned and I knew that I had to capture the late afternoon sun.

Well what a "strange week weather wise it has been!" Largely grey, mundane and meh - but hold on what is that I sense? Well that would be a glorious change in the skies, a break in the weather and well I just had to capture the return of the beautiful golden October light and the afternoon sun; it really does go without saying that "there is just something else about the delights of a clear and glorious Autumnal day with sunshine, and of course the light beginning to just turn as the afternoon draws to a close."

"Towards Autumn, a Glorious October Sky."

"Clouds, Drama, Skies."

"Arts from above, the October glow of the Valley."

"Looming, Drama and despite a clear day, Clouds Begin to Roll Inwards."
