Autumn Palette

Fed up with the dark at each end of my working day, I took my camera to work and went for a walk to the fountain in Town Hall Square at lunch time.
The water was a peculiar milky colour, probably excess chlorine, but in one area several leaves were bunched together due to the flow of water from the fountain.
The colours floating in the fountain just caught my eye and I had to take a photo.

Best viewed large!
What a lovely collection of leaves! Great colors and natural looking composition.

Very good idea to use the fountain water it show the leaves p nicely, I took a shot of leaves in a puddle, and all I got was dirty puddle with leaves!

Very stunning viewed large. I would have guessed that perhaps encased in a thin layer of ice. Beautiful colors and lovely processing.

It sort of looked like you had pressed the leaves within two panes of glass. Really well done.
