It’s hard to resist the stunning views of canals flanked by trees looking like colourful autumn sentries. I took this photo a couple of weeks ago, heading to this spot specifically after having seen another photo of it on Twitter. It’s a charming spot at any time, but with the range of autumn colours, from golden orange to purple, it was particularly appealing.
Yesterday, we had a brief respite from the rain and overcast weather, so when we headed out for groceries, I couldn’t resist taking my camera along and getting a few shots from the Wittevrouwenbrug.
It seems I’m not the only one in my family that can’t resist taking photos of the autumn leaves and their many colours. My dad, who used to work as a professional photographer and whose talent I try to emulate, sent me a link to a couple of his own photos that appeared on his local newspaper’s website. His photo is the one that accompanies the article, and if you click through to look at the rest of the photos, his photos are number 1 and number 23. It’s worth giving a click through all of the photos to see some of the beauty of North Carolina’s Piedmont area during this season. I’ll say this for North Carolina: it gives good autumn.

Thanks Alison. Loved the pics from Jamestown.
It really can be quite picturesque.
Alison, I want to feature your blog, but all your photos are on Flickr and somehow I can’t use their URLs to get an image for your blog in my widget. Do you know what I need to do?
If you find the picture you want to use and click on the “Share” button over the photo, that should take you give you some sharing options, including html versions for small squares. If that doesn’t work, let me know what you need and I can always upload an image to my WordPress account. In the meantime, thank you for featuring my blog!
Hi Alison. It doesn’t seem to work. This is the pic that I would like to use, if I may: http://www.flickr.com/photos/abnetsel/4085989502/
Thanks.
I’ve gone ahead and replaced the Flickr version of that photo on the original blog post and uploaded the photo directly to WordPress, so hopefully that will work now. https://oranjeflamingo.wordpress.com/2012/11/09/views-without-vertigo/
Yes! That worked. Thanks.
We took a trip to Tennessee and got to experience autumns splendor first hand.
I used to visit Tennessee quite often since my great-grandmother lived there. It really is a wonderful place to see all the autumn colors. It’s also where I saw snow for the first time!
Holland does become very pretty in autumn. That’s cool news about your Dad’s photos getting in the newspaper.
