A lone walker walks away along a woodland path beneath tall autumn trees, carrying an open blue umbrella over one shoulder despite the returning sunshine. Golden leaves fill the frame from forest floor to treetops, while the vivid blue umbrella stands in quiet contrast to the surrounding woodland. The vertical composition emphasises the height of the trees and the calm atmosphere beneath the autumn canopy.

Photographer's notes
Rain had stopped only a few minutes earlier, but water continued dripping from the beech canopy. From behind, the splash of blue against the golden woodland caught my attention, and I made the photograph before the walker disappeared from view.
