I took this shot from our front door step over 50 years ago, when we lived in Connecticut. The original was quite harsh and contrasty, so I "artsified" it a bit in Topaz Studio.
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
I saw old autumn in the misty morn Stand shadowless like silence, listening To silence.

Bright, a town in north-east Victoria, is situated in the Ovens Valley and is part of the Alpine Region of Victoria. 210 kilometres from Melbourne, Bright was one of the towns in the Ovens Valley where gold was discovered. Gold was found near the junction of Morses Creek and the Ovens River in the 1850s. Established in 1862 and named Bright, most likely after John Bright (1811 - 1889) an English publicist, reformer and parliamentarian the township thrived. With the Gold Rush in full swing, Bright soon had Catholic, Wesleyan and Presbyterian churches, schools, three hotels, three quartz mills and two bank branches. As the yield of gold declined in the 1870s, so too did Bright’s population, yet by the 1880s, it became an alpine tourism town. The Bright Alpine club was formed in 1887 and a community library was started there in 1889. In the following year Bright was connected by railway to Myrtleford and Wangaratta, bringing with it much needed tourists from Melbourne. In 1910 a grand chalet was opened at Mount Buffalo and Bright ran a hire car service for visitors, who often stayed there overnight at a hotel or guesthouse. In 1919 a secondary school was opened in Bright. It also had a tourist progress association and local angling, bowling, racing, tennis and golf clubs amongst its many attractions. By the mid 1920s the people of Bright began planting exotic trees partly for landscape improvement and partly to lay the summer dust. The street tree plantings produced extraordinary autumn colours. By 1933, Bright was described as the “Tourism Capital of the Ovens Valley”. Bright’s train line continued until 1983 when it was finally discontinued and replaced with coaches. By that time, it was a well established tourism town with people flocking there all throughout the year for different reasons. Bright is a base for exploring the peaks of Mount Buffalo National Park and Alpine National Park as well as Mount Hotham, a popular ski resort. Bright is a starting point for the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail, a hiking and cycling path. Bright Museum, in the town’s former train station, documents rail and gold rush history. The region is also known for wineries and of course its amazing display of autumnal foliage.

One of the reddest maple trees I have ever seen-ridiculous! I love autumn. Good thing I had my gear wrapped in a plastic bag-very rainy!
As I was driving later, I realized that there are many maples this red. Hehe! What a beautiful world we live in.

Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden. The name of this vivid red maple tree is "Osakazuki akame" (acer palmatum).
One of the few remaining big sugar maples lining the old Sanborn Road. Many years ago, this tree was almost certainly tapped for the maple sugaring operation that operated nearby. The sugarhouse had succumbed to fire and the ravages of time long before I was born.
Today the road is mostly overgrown, save for a well-trodden path down the middle. Many of the old trees now lie beside or across the road or have decayed completely, while this old man soldiers on in silence.
After a long walk in the woods, I happened upon this bird house on the shores of heart lake, it looked so cool in contrast to the trees exploding with fall colour in the background even the sky is majestic in all its blue glory.. This weekend’s hike produced so many remarkable photographs. I only have time to post a couple more.

This is the maple tree is right outside my front door, so each time it rains, I try to get outside to compose some rain drop shots. I seem to futz around this tree trying to find a nice composition. I need to spend more time around this tree, but I'm surprised that it is not yet yielding even a hint of autumn color!
Thank you for viewing, faveing and commenting on my images. It is very much appreciated.

Oh the colors . . . the orange, the gold, the bronze, how I love you so. You set my soul on fire you do.
It's a gorgeous day in Seattle so I brought my camera on the walk to my son's school this afternoon. :-)
