I'm a photographer, I'm also a tour leader, geographer and explorer.
I was thinking today about exploration and how, sometimes, a day's exploration can bring unexpected results.
Here, a short walk along a riverbank turned into more of an adventure than I had planned on, traversing the river and climbing over rocks brought me to this picturesque section of the watercourse, lined with autumnal leaves and this fallen tree that made for a good place to stop and set up my tripod.
I spent some time photographing the colourful scenes and breathing in the fresh forest air.
There was only the sound of the river, a nearby waterfall and the camera's shutter.
