Autumn In The City - Digital Montage

Autumn In The City – Digital Montage. Where does the year go ? I still felt that it was Autumn, took the photo, wrote the poem and then realized that Autumn finished a month ago !

The Regional Post Office building at Newcastle East.

Autumn In The City

The leaves turn to gold
slowly falling
earthbound
and perish on the pavement

The wind whispers while
the sunlight ebbs
and smears in rusty hues

Clouds fill and gather all around
Thunder bellows “Winter is returning to the land!”

    It’s lovely, reflector. We don’t have much to speak of for seasons. It’s just hot or cold. I know how it feels to see seasons pass so quickly. I love the pretty autumn colors.

  • reflector replied

    Thanks a lot Lori ! I just couldn’t get over the fact that I was still thinking it’s Autumn. I edited everything to keep close to an Autumn palette.

    where has this been hiding…its still fantastic work!!

  • reflector replied

    I was getting confused for a second there Dinghy ! I thought, that you thought, that you hadn’t seen this before ! :)
    That’s what I get for my speed reading exploits !
    I just shuffle my most recent personal faves to the front now and again, but I don’t want to crowd those first 6 images people see when then land in my Gallery with stuff they may have seen, pushing the current work out of view.

  • reflector

    Didn’t realize your PO was deciduous! REALLY love this one – always a sucker for red, but red and yellow combined with warm tones of the building are a bombshell. Outstanding textural interest, too.

    This made it the the Home Page a few months ago – which was exciting ! This design has my fave palette choices for Graphic Design in it – red, orange, yellow. Thanks very much for the Fave, Shallay !

    It does help to bring new life to a posting, but it’s a bit of a pain using the shuffle controls on RB !
