The late autumn often presents bright colored foliage and Larch trees, while quickly changing weather provides interesting light conditions. The bad part is cold, strong wind and frequent showers or sleet. I particularly like bright yellow Larch trees, which provide numerous opportunities for colorful and high contrast photos.
This time I got lucky with a short period of bright sunshine between the showers of heavy rain. Dark clouds provided a nice background and add dramatic atmosphere.
The first snow started to fall just a few days later. I made a similar photo with the snowy landscape, you can notice quickly disappearing foliage on the Birch trees in the background and also less dense needles on the Larch trees. Such photos often require some portion of luck to align timing of snowfall and best colors, which often last for just a week or even less.
