Having been denied the opportunity to get out and photograph the Autumn colours of 2020 due to the Covid 19 lockdowns, I made sure I took every opportunity I could to try and capture the 2021 offerings.  Knowing there is usually only a window of around 3-4 weeks where the trees are in full glory before the seasonal storm roll through and blow the leaves away, I scouted many locations looking for interesting compostions in the nearby ranges, that are famed for the palette they provide at that time of year.  
One such location was a private residence that opens up its gardens to the public, so after driving past and seeing the colours in full glory, I decided to head back as soon as I was able.  Luckily that  was only a few days later and on my visit, I managed to capture many different angles of this majestic species, of which this is one of my favourites.
 
Location - Mount Macedon, VIC.
