Ailsa‘s Travel-Themed Photo Challenge this week is Foliage.
Looking through my photos, about half of them seem to be of foliage (the other half, of course, kayaking…). So it’s very hard to choose! Still, here are a few shots of the foliage in NYC’s Central Park through the seasons…
... has kayaked the waters around New York for over a decade in his red Feathercraft folding kayak. He comes originally from (the former) Czechoslovakia and has lived in the U.K. and California before settling down in New York. He is a neuroscientist at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.
... is a kayaker and technology researcher at Nemertes Research. She's an erstwhile engineer, particle physicist, and science fiction writer. She was born in California and has lived in Italy, Norway, Hawaii, and a few other places. She currently resides in New York City.
beautiful orange foliage
Yes! :-)
Those fiery red ones are amazing., but I love them all. :)
There are a couple of trees in particular that I visit every fall because they are so brilliantly red…
so very beautiful!!
Thank you, Cee!
I enjoyed that you had foliage from each season. Nice post, Vladimir.
We’ve already had several rounds of autumn-related themes in these Photo Challenges and I thought it was time to diversify!
My favorite place to be in NYC. Beautiful!
We think alike!
Love the red/orange especially.
Yes, those trees really stand out!
Love it!
Thank you, Georgia!
Love the Central Park! The red/orange is gorgeous!
:-)
they are all lovely, but i think my favorite is ‘fall 2011′ the composition is especially nice. i wish i could see these projected on a huge screen!!!! they’re all stunning!

They are beautiful on a big screen, Z, you’re right!
More of these photos are here and here, in Picasa which allows full-screen slide shows. Yes, they look beautiful on a big screen!
WOW! I love it!
Excellent!

Beautiful, dreamy images!
At least in the Fall 2010 series, that’s exactly what I was trying for… :-)
All lovely shots Vladi !
Thank you very much!! :-)
Love them all!
So glad! Thank you, Shaanthz!
just beautiful!
Thanks! :-)
Oh my, Vlad, they’re all so perfect in totally different ways I can’t choose a favourite.
Very diplomatic, Ailsa!! :-)
Amaizing photos!
It is such a really great work! I found your blog by accident and I loved IT!!
Congratulations! For such great photos. :D
Thanks for peeking round the corner and finding us—that’s what WordPress is all about! And thanks for following our blog! :-)
These are just beautiful..where does this theme originate please?
Where’s my backpack?
you blew me away with all this fall foliage – or autumn colours as we say here ;)
It has that effect when it’s at its peak…
The orange of that first tree is so vibrant it glows, you have caught the light just perfectly
I was lucky the light was right just when the tree was at its peak… you only get one chance a year, really.
Knowing your area helps you to be there at that perfect moment, it is beautiful
Yes, it’s just a few minutes away, so I can run out when I see the sun coming out from behind the clouds…
I know what you mean, as keen photographers our radar is always on high alert for that perfect light situation.. Isn’t it satisfying when it all “comes together”
Yes, indeed! :-)
just wonderful – I love those fiery reds and golds! Great selection! ;-)
Thank you so much!!

Wow! Those colors are fabulous. I miss the fall colors on the West Coast. I grew up in Indiana so I remember fall colors. Thanks for visiting my site. I’m still reeling in that color display. Totally yummy! Came back and see my more muted views. I’ll be following your site. :)
Thanks, Marsha! You’ve got some lovely colors on your blog too (if more muted ;-) ). And a great sense of the look and feel, and the history, of your part of the world. I’ll be back! And thanks for following our blog! :-)
Thanks. for the kind words. Yes, our part of the world has its own beauty, and I love it. My husband is from New York, so I’m hoping that some day we will take a long trip through that part of the country. So much to see. At least we can see it through you beautiful pictures. :)
I’ll try to keep on providing them… :-)
Yes, your comment did go into the spam… It’s not at all clear why—usually it’s because of links, but your comment doesn’t contain any. Fortunately, I look through the spam often. Not only are there real comments in there, but the actual spam can be weirdly fascinating…
I totally agree. I have posted them on occasion just because – especially when I was just getting started. Comments stating that I had the most fabulous site on the planet just didn’t sound like spam at the time!!! Thanks again for visiting :)
Wow, so colorful! pretty pictures !
Thanks, and thanks for following our blog!
Pleasure !

Oooo, I especially like the 4th & 5th photos – that impressionistic look. Nice! Thank you!
Thank you! :-)
I hesitate to leave comments when a post has so many, but this post is too good to pass over!
I miss my fall foliage….bigtime! The orange hue in pic 1 (fall 2010) is astounding!!! What a force of nature that tree is!
Yes, it stands out, visible from far away, against the much more modest yellow or brown foliage of the adjacent trees…
