I remember at the time the combination of sun placement and the vast diversity of colours on display bothered my eyes quite a bit.
We don't get autumn colours in Sydney (well not in the native trees) but we do get the most gorgeous colours in November when all the gum trees shed their barks. The most spectacular is the angophora - the old bark is a dull grey during winter. Trying to work out what happens- but it seems that the bark goes pink before it starts falling off and I think that this year because of all the rain it is pinker than usual. The brand new bark is yellow at first and then darkens to a rich orange... in December the tree will be all this amazing colour. These photos taken at 6.30pm in afternoon sun. I would love to sketch it but don't have the time this week- so photos it will have to be.

EPS shows off new Colours and crest at special ceremony
The Edmonton Police Service unveiled its new Colours and redesigned crest today at a ceremony in City Hall.
Until now, the EPS did not have battle honours, despite losing seven police officers on the front lines, who gave the ultimate sacrifice while fighting the constant war on crime.
“The Colours were created for the primary purpose to honour the memory of those members,” says EPS Staff Sgt. Adrian Marr. “Secondly, they are to provide for members of the Service, a focus of pride by tangibly representing what the Service stands for and the sacrifices its members have made.”
The EPS Colours were designed and approved by the Canadian Heraldic Authority in 2004. The Colours are dark blue with a gold fringe. Inside the fringe are embroidered wild roses and maple leafs. In the centre is the new EPS crest. Around the badge are embroidered the Names in Memorial, of officers who had been killed in the line of duty. The Colours were blessed and consecrated by Chaplain Kurt Schmidlin and Lt. Gov. Norman Kwong.
The new EPS crest was also unveiled at the event. Since the formation of the Edmonton Police Service in 1892 the police flash has evolved from a simple nameplate to a symbolic emblem that represents the allegiance and pride of those who serve in the profession. The redesigned crest is the very first EPS Heraldic emblem which was granted official approval by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The motto on the crest – integrity, courage, community – express the character of the Edmonton Police Service.
