Autumnal Walk at Whippendell Wood

Golden sunlight breaking through a the gaps in a wood of evenly spaced, tall, straight-trunked Beech trees. On the woodland floor is a carpet of orange leaves that the trees have shed and the sun lights up those that remain on the trees turning their orange-brown a translucent gold.
