The morning sun cast an illuminating light on the colorful deciduous trees west of Harrisonburg, Virginia, in the heart of the pastoral Shenandoah Valley. Cloud shadows played across the Allegheny Mountains that divide Virginia from West Virginia and served as a quiet backdrop for the colorful foreground. Also, note the rolling fence in the front of the scene mirrors the undulating mountains in the background.
“Shenandoah Fall” is my Photo of the Week.

The curving fence row in the foreground “makes” this photo, and matches the curves of the valleys and peaks. Great choice.

Amazing perspective captured so well; it’s all about time and place isn’t it? Colours almost over in our neck of the woods but it has been beautiful.
