Autumn Colour
Suggestion Lists
Architectural
There is something deeply uplifting about the flamboyancy of trees in the autumn. Perhaps we are tiring of the trite pastels of spring and summer. More likely, I suspect, we are secretly cheering the rebellion against the ever-sobering sky. Whatever the reason, it is unequivocally the season of the tree. We recommend you take extra care when driving, as you are sure to have your head turned! Our guide below will help you identify the dashing characters you encounter on your travels (you know, to the supermarket...work...recreation ground).
