Carpet

People say that the autumn colours look like a Persian rug thrown across the hills, and this photo (taken last year) hints at why they say this, though it doesn't do the colours justice. Last year's colours were actually a bit muted, the summer had been too dry, but this year they should be spectacular if the rain is anything to go by. We're nearly there now... perhaps not next weekend, but the weekend after - especially if we have a frost (currently looking distinctly possible).

Details: Nikon D70, 18-70mm @ 42mm, f/8, 1/25s, ISO 200. 11 October 2005, Gatineau Park, Quebec. Placemark.
