In this picture you can see some Norway maple (Acer platanoides) leaves that I photographed this autumn. I really like the shape of maple leaves and with autumn colors they can be a stunning sight. The sun were shining through the tree tops unto the leaves so I just had to take a picture of them.
The autumn colors are almost gone now so it is nice to able to look some pictures and remember how nice it was.
The Norway maple is the only type of maple tree that is native to Norway. The maple trees grow in the southern part of Norway where the climate is a bit warmer.

Autumn brings us some fantastic colors to photograph. Here is a picture from a walk I had in the forest yesterday. Some places the forest the ground was completely covered with yellow leaves. It was so beautiful and of course I had to take some pictures.
I like how the sun shines through the treetops and the wooden stairs to the left, add more interestingness to the picture. The wooden stairs have been built on this wood track to help people at the steepest parts in the forest.
Feel free to click on the picture to view it in large size to see more details.

Check out this photo from last year of a stream covered with autumn colored leaves.

Found this stream when I was walking in the forest and since I love photos of running water I had to take a picture of the stream with autumn colored leaves laying around.
I used a longer shutter speed to create the “foggy” effect on the water.

The forest colors are changing fast in the autumn. One of the most beautiful sights are that of aspen trees (Populus tremula) with their staggering yellow and red colors.

In this close up photo of some aspen leaves, you can see the leaves in the process of changing color from yellow to red.

See this blog post for more pictures of autumn colors.
