It was a photo similar to this, that made me decide on Aga Khan as a location to take some photos. I am very happy with the reflections and photos overall.
I've been driving past this tree for a good year or so and had it in my mind that I'd climb over the fence and grab a picture of it when the heather was out - I do like a good tree! It's 'marginally' on MOD land but I didn't think they'd mind :-)
Drove past again the other day and sadly the heather is all brown now but I'm thinking it might be a good frosty/snowy location, we shall see and watch this space :-)
I've not posted on Flickr for eons! I decided it was time to rectify that. Hope you are all well :-)
I took these a few years ago in a local wood when we had some great foggy conditions and the last of the autumn colour.
It's been a warm autumn so far here around Toronto so there aren't so many red leaves, nevertheless it's getting colorful.

I've been lucky enough to capture a number of images of the heather this year on the Moors. This is from Grinton Moor in Swaledale, Yorkshire Dales. Hope you like it and sorry I've not posted for a while - been out taking photos! Thank you for looking and any comments :-)
I will eventually stop posting heather I promise but I did do A LOT of heather photography this year :-) This was my first trip out and was probably most successful trip - sometimes that's the way!
Dates From: 1860
Original Location: Sebringville, Ontario (Perth County)
The carriage works building originally housed a blacksmith and wheelwright shop. As the business prospered in the 1870s, it was enlarged into a full-fledged carriage works that included an upholsterer and cabinet maker.
With the advent of the automobile, the carriage-making declined. Nevertheless, the Dominion Carriage Works continued to operate on a limited basis until 1972.
In 1973 the building was moved to Black Creek Pioneer Village, complete with its original tools and patterns. Restoration and re-assembly was completed and the building was opened for viewing by the general public in 1976
Original location: Ameliasburg, Ontario (Prince Edward County)
Roblin’s Mill was built in 1842 by Owen Roblin, the grandson of a United Empire Loyalist. When purchased by the Metro Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, the mill was scheduled for demolition. The original timbers, flooring and machinery were salvaged and moved to Black Creek Pioneer Village in 1964.
Found these purple leaves and red berries among the withering autumn.

There are a few of these little cascades at Wainwath force making it not the easiest to photograph all at once. So I isolated one of the little falls which was nicely framed by the autumnal trees I thought. A pretty little place to visit at this time of the year. I'm missing Autumn! :-)
Excerpt from the plaque:
Oliphant, Sicily, Italy, 12th century. Ivory, carved: Ivory horns, or oliphants, were made between the mid eleventh to the thirteenth centuries and are exquisite examples of cultural exchange between Muslim and Christian societies in the Mediterranean world. These ivory horns are mostly associated with noble hunting, a practice that also implied land ownership. They could be blown to create signals during hunt but had also been used as a drinking vessel at the end of the hunt by stopping their open ends.
The size of this oliphant, its richly carved figurative decoration, and its excellent condition seems to suggest a ceremonial function in courtly societies, associated with the hunt, combat, and banquets.
