Here's an alternate to the first maple leaf shot.

Again in reference to my ignorance, if these aren't maple leaves then please let me know!! :-) For some reason this shot didn't make it into my "Beginning of Fall" series, and I can't recall why.

I'll be the first to admit that this photo isn't very attractive, but I wanted to get another shot of the berry trees, whatever kind they are. This shot wasn't in Milichovsky Les, though, but Sidliste Haje. The Czech sidliste projects, whatever negative things people say about them, are in the vast majority of cases landscaped, making them far more green and pleasant than most such places that I've seen elsewhere.

Does anybody know what kind of berries these are? They're all over Haje, and I don't know enough about botany to know. In fact, I can barely identify different types of trees. :-)

Here's another shot of Milichovsky Rybnik, showing as in many cases that Milichovsky Les is right up against Sidliste Haje, making for a weird contrast that is nevertheless very typical of the Czech Republic.

Not completely satisfied with my more realistic edit, I decided to do a super saturated version of Picture 15 to see what people would think of it.

This was my best shot of the series, I think, although I've cranked the contrast up slightly. The exposure was the key, as it was light without being too light, so when I cranked the contrast up in Gimp, it worked really well.

This is one of my better ones, but it took me a few tries on these to get the sunlight right. They were actually a lot more colorful than this.

And here's another partially green tree shot.

Here's another example of the trees just beginning to turn.

I got out so early in 2007 that many of the trees were still green. Nevertheless, you can see a lot of ones mixed into the green which are changing.

I don't know very much about trees, but these were among the more colorful ones I found.

This photo is the first in a series called "The Beginning of Fall 2007" which I'm going to turn into an album on iPernity. I had messed up on getting out in time during the other years that I had lived in Prague, but in Fall of 2007 I did a better, although not perfect, job. We had a relatively short Fall in 2007 before we got into winter, that's why. Just about everything I shot was in Milichovsky Les, in Haje, and this is Milichovsky Rybnik, or Milichov Pond in English.
