Chasing the Colours of Autumn

This weekend I wanted to follow the autumn colour, to capture the golds and yellows and coppers in the woodlands, to walk on crisp fallen leaves along the ancient forest park, to fill up my memory card with beautiful images and feast my eyes on the countryside in her patchwork of autumn colours.

A slight case of the sniffles put paid to my plans so instead I found some colour at the Flower Market and the quiet country roads close to home.

With our mountain walk to Slieve Gullion cancelled, we drove around Ravensdale instead and visited

the old 'waterworks' which once provided water for the town at Annaskeagh instead. A colleague had said it would be a nice spot to get some photographs and he was right.
