Frosted Autumn Leaves | ©2013 David Allio
Sunshine at daybreak illuminates frosted fallen maple and oak leaves in Southwest Virginia. Euphemistically, photography is considered a frozen moment in time. In a reflection of literalism, moments after this scene was exposed, the rising sun warmed the icy surfaces and the granular bits of frost melted.
"It’s important to remember that not everyone is surrounded by large wonderful families. Some of us have problems during the holidays and sometimes are overcome with great sadness when we remember the loved ones who are not with us. And, many people have no one to spend these times with and are besieged by loneliness. We all need caring thoughts and loving prayer right now." – shared by Sabrina Fadial and Kari Banks Neely.
Thank you for making a special effort to view this photograph. Happy Thanksgiving!

Looking westward, the silhouette of Pine Mountain blocks the late autumn sunset over Payne Gap as the setting sun illuminates Altocumulus stratiformis perlucidus clouds in the evening sky above Eastern Kentucky.
"The cinema and the photo-eye must create their own point of view, and use it. They must expand – not imitate – the ordinary optical radius of the human eye." – Ossip Brik [1888-1945]
Literally following Brik’s proposition this landscape/sunset, captured through a 14mm lens, certainly presents an image broader than the field of vision for the normal human eye.

Changing Colors | ©2013 David Allio
Changing colors of maple leaves signify the autumnal advance on the North American mainland. In August, leaves were changing in New York. Now, the colorful woodland palette has moved into The South.
Surprisingly, science has not found conclusive evidence regarding these changing colors. Information regarding evolving concepts may be found online at: Why Leaves Change Colors.
