Gold Behind the Green

This image captures the exact moment where autumn meets winter. The foreground is dominated by the sharp, dark needles of the yew tree—stoic, unchanging, and ready for the cold. But peeking through the gaps are the vibrant, dying flashes of autumn gold. It’s a visual struggle between the fading warmth of the past season and the encroaching darkness of the next. I love the high contrast here; it makes the yellow leaves look almost like little fires burning in the deep green shadows of the forest.
